Earlier this week, a violent storm tore through town. Our immediate area was very lucky, but there was quite a bit of damage in a few other areas. The front wall of a skating rink a few miles from here was ripped off by the strong winds, and quite a few cars were crushed by falling trees.
Rain has continued on and off. The weather hasn’t stopped the flowers and flowering trees from continuing their spring blossoming.

That was a bad storm! Goodness! Glad you were safe, and I hope no one was hurt.
That's what you get for pissing off the Pope, Trump! He's got friends in High Places!
I love that photo of the azalea flower and raindrops -- such fragile and delicate petals!
I'm sorry the storm hit your area so hard. It seems the flowers can survive most storms. I only wish your last photo was true.
