It sure was windy here today. Here's one example of a half of a tree on top of a taxi on Maple Street in Columbia. Fortunately no one was hurt. The strongest winds that I was able to locate today…

We could see some Severe Storms on Wednesday. But it is still a little early to know for sure. Here's why. The piece of energy that could produce these storms is right now, centered over Colorado and New Mexico. That's…
