I live in Port Republic, what a mess to clean up this morning. Last night was horrible it felt like it kept coming and coming. As soon as you thought it was done there was more lightning with rain and hail to follow.
Storms were very servere in some areas. A group of us just happened to be kayaking durning these storms. Started at port republic put in area and onlly an hour later we had to get out and wait out the hail, high winds, and very cold downpour. Everyone made it out fine, but was quite an adventure
