The bad weather blew down some fences up in my village and someone's dog got out, luckily it was found again soon. I hope that's it for the storms!

ReportThis weather is keeping most of us up at night! I've seen trellis blown down and branches on the road. A good lot of water is on some of the country roads so it's still slow-going.
