My in-laws were hit by the same storm, and thankfully my father-in-law was in town, not at home, or he would have lost his vehicle and been trapped. All photos taken by my husband.

We flew to California, and we had a great wedding. This was the backdrop: … Continue reading We Went to a California Wedding
