Oh wow!

The weather's been crazy here all summer.
I think we had a record number of tornados touch down.

A year ago May, we had a derecho storm, which I never heard of before.
We lost 30-70% of the tree canopy around the city.

I feel your pain. My basement flooded in April after a brutal freezing rain 
storm. Dealing with the insurance company is a pain in the butt.
