    Wow, we made it onto the pages of “Midnight Watcher”!! We’re big time!

    They weren’t really that bad, but the local TV weatherman sure looked like he was enjoying the limelight.

    I think it pulled up a few almond trees and knocked down a barn. Maybe a few chickens got loose who would have quite a tale to tell (if they could talk).
