The storm was moving at 65 MPH with 70 MPH straight line winds. Tree limbs, shingles and anything that was loose flying everywhere. It's now officially the wettest spring in recorded history here now, and there's more to come. And to think, this time last year we were sweltering under oppressive heat & drought conditions. Yeah right, there's no climate change.
