25!
About 4 weeks ago, right after that first post here, we had a tornado! Turned out to be quite a large one, too, albeit not terribly powerful, which was a bit of a surprise for the few neighborhoods involved. Friends from elsewhere who've moved here described it as a storm with the intensity of a hurricane but the spontaneity of an earthquake. It happened at 2am, was loud, was over quickly, and kept everyone up with adrenaline for the next 3 hours, checking on neighbors and sussing out the damage. We ended up spending just the day without power and had absolute minimal damage: 2 slate tiles from the roof and the kids' trampoline in the backyard - which blew with enough force to knock over our Juni the Scooter! And plants, of course; boo. After that excitement passed, more beautiful spring weather hung around until only very recently. Fantastic spring this year! (Minus the torrential downpours and that tornado...) And so to take advantage, we've had a couple of crawfish boils...
