“It’s when we start working together that the real healing takes place… it’s when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood,” David Hume.
This Week’s Hazards
Even with increased rain and storm chances coming, the risk for severe weather looks very low for the next week! Just keep in mind that any storm that forms this time of year can contain heavy rainfall, small hail, gusty winds, and deadly cloud-to-ground lightning.
