Rain today. Tornado threats in Southern New England. In evening and late night got awful thundershowers. Joy and Debbie here today. Blanche here in afternoon. Bill and I to town after supper. In evening Billie took me over to get my permanent. When we came home there was an awful thunder shower. And as we rode by an elm tree it was struck by lightning. It was awful.
