Cloudburst!

Lots of lightning and raucous thunder late this afternoon. Internet access at uni dropped out. The usual flood points were, as expected, flooded. I can make it almost home with only the souls of my feet getting wet... but there's a couple of ankle deep spots near the end of my trek. Alas.

Meanwhile, spent a good chunk of the afternoon – before everyone started to worry about being smitten with Thor's hammer – troubleshooting some DNA sequencing. It looks like we simply had too much DNA. Yes, for our delicate sequencer, it is possible to have too much of a good thing.

The sequencer is broken again, though, and so we won't have a chance to test our suspicions until Wednesday, probably.
