Here in the Midwest, the arrival of summer can't get here quickly enough. I live in western Kentucky and we've had a miserable severe weather season. We've battled tornadoes, monster hail, and historic flooding. Frankly, we need (and have earned) some peace, some quiet, and some summer. Only, there may be a bit of a curve ball.
