Hey Shelagh, we have a lovely day here, too. It's significantly cooler and
less humid than it was all last week. When did you get the windstorm? We
had a massive thunderstorm come through early Saturday morning. It took
down lots of trees, including one that smashed a house to smithereens, and
left many homes without power.
