8/10/2012 6:45 AM 1.13 M M M M I was not home during storms. From shredded leaf debris, there was a lot of hail. With several neighboring corn fields blown down, winds were probably in the 50-60 mph range. Two trees (15") were also lost in the mess. Rain total was also probably higher because of strong winds. Needed rain but not the extra work.
