It has been a wet and wild ride the past few days here in Walnut Grove, just like many locations in Alabama. We've picked up nearly six inches of rain in here in my backyard, causing flooding, and we've seen a peak wind gust at 57mph! Even had our first hailstones of the year, when nickel sized hail fell around 3pm yesterday afternoon. Thankfully, even though it's been nothing to smile at, we DID dodge the worst bullet, so to speak. The Anniston and Oxford areas weren't so fortunate though. A tornado ripped through downtown Oxford, causing a lot of damage to several homes and businesses, including the mall, which sustained considerable roof damage.
Thankfully, all that has now moved out the area and we can breathe a little easier with sunshine returning by Thursday.
