Tis the usual story in Alabama during summer thunderstorms. And, yes, it is summer. Sunday was Day One. I am already tired and sick of the hot weather. However, I respect all of you that like summer and spring better just as much as those, like me, that prefer autumn and winter in that order.
Enough of that totally worthless chatter. Here we go with the RR (Rain Roundup) See the special note about Birmingham at the end.
