My place got quite a boom yesterday with all of the storms that came through.  3 different storms!  Anyhow, I found it coincidental that today is the 30th anniversary of the big straight-line storm that hit the area in 1980.  I remember being out of town that day, so thankfully I didn't sit through it.  However, I do remember coming home the next day and seeing a tree sticking through my kitchen window, and my '79 Nova much worse for the wear.  (That made me sad.  I really liked that car.)
