    We had some of the most severe storms I’ve ever experienced yesterday afternoon and evening. Hurricane-force winds (clocked over 80 MPH downtown), at least two tornadoes that touched down (one of them only a few miles from where Kelly lives). It was absolutely incredible to watch it all happen. We were safe and secure at…
