If nothing else, it now won’t be the driest month EVER in Indianapolis – just the driest June. The Indy Airport was brushed by a huffing, puffing wind storm. Google “derecho” and you’ll see plenty of stories about yesterday’s storm complex that marched through several states. I’ve had a few folks on Twitter and Facebook […]
Advisory Extended Through The Weekend
