On the road to Edinboro…
Another great group of seniors, this time at the United Methodist Church in Edinboro, invited me to speak on this damp and chilly day. Of course, we talked tornadoes and severe weather, including viewing or Spring Weather Show-A Look Back at the Tornadoes of May 31, 1985. As usual, these folks had some great weather stories to tell, not only from that day but from years of living in that famous snowbelt town. Thanks to Albert for inviting me, Mark for his photography, and all the kind folks who shared a nice time of weather memories and questions. See you all next time in the Boro.
