Thunderstorms began early in Cheboygan and continued as we headed for Traverse City.  The storm we drove through near Elmira, was a real gully washer, but by the time we reached TC, most of the rain was over.  Skies cleared through the afternoon but severe storms pummeled our home turf.  They were under a severe thunderstorm warning and the radar looked serious.  I haven’t been in touch with anyone at home for damage reports.  We will be heading home tomorrow so hopefully, everything is in one peach.
