Yesterday, as I typed away at my work desk, I heard the weather sirens going off. I was taken by surprise. I looked out the window and didn't see any tornadoes or storm clouds. Just a normal cloudy day. What the heck? In Wisconsin, it may have been a spring storm approaching from a direction… Continue reading Keeping an eye on the storm
