Some very windy storms blew in last night to usher in the astronomical summer at 11:31pm, bringing with it half an inch of rain on my side of town.
Today I took a walk to survey some of the local damage. Unfortunately one of my favorite trees took a direct hit from a straight line wind and one of its major limbs broke away from the trunk. But more fortunately, this seems to be the worst of it.
