Yesterday brought a sunny beginning, that ended with strong to severe thunderstorms.  We didn’t have any damage here in my area, but there was plenty to our south.  My son lives in Northville, and my daughter in Howell.  They were both without power late yesterday.  We didn’t even get that much rain, just 0.22″.  I’m seeing that southern areas, including Detroit, got as much a 3 inches.  We could still see more rain today as another cold front comes our way.
