Yesterday’s storm may not go down in the books as a really great storm, but it was pretty severe. We were just glad that it was not accompanied by the dreaded H word (hail). In May 2005, Crystal Lake was hit with a hail storm that broke 200 panes of glass in our greenhouses, as well as shredded a lot of the plant material that was outside. I remember the hostas that we had displayed were severely damaged and we had to cut them back and let them grow out before they were saleable.
