On Wednesday we had thunder, lightning and a very strong wind pushing lots of rain through. It was a storm passing through from the west and it traveled fast but covered most of Montana in different ways. Zortman, South of Malta, and east again it was hit by a lot of rain. There was at least one tornado reported in Montana.

All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

Have a good holiday and drive safe.
