Then you can walk back home, and not worry about being too cold because of the perfect weather outside, the summer weather.

I heard the winds come up fast and hard and pounding hail down on my roof the evening of June 15. Pinging of hail hitting the bathroom windows. I was afraid the windows were knocked out but alas, no. Electricity went out. All of Odebolt awoke to fallen branches and trees littering the streets and yards of Odebolt’s home. The people of Odebolt gathered to help clean up the mess the thunderstorm had left on our town.
