Storm Ravages Byron!

Very crazy! On the 15th, a massive storm system swept through the area. Spotters reported several tornadoes in Shiawassee County. One of those suspected to touch down was in my home town of Byron. Basically on my grandparents's house. They were unharmed, thankfully, but the massive maple tree--probably 150-200 years old--in front of their house did not...


Neither did the carport, Dodge pick-up truck, lawn mower shed, porch or their Buick.

Thanks! Yeah, it was pretty nuts.

I also keep thinking of how strange it's going to be going to the big Memorial Day family get-together and having that tree not be there. That tree has been there my entire life.
