We just had a funnel cloud pass through our area. A local landmark, Edwards' Apple Orchard, got hit, according to my wife who is on her way to help with immediate salvage. I am staying here with the girls, who have already endured one trip to the basement, and a power outage (power back on, thank you very much). Quite enough excitement for a Monday.
