PHOTO OF THE DAY: STANDING WATER

Emma Schoenwald and friend Evelyn Lafrentz found enjoyment in a ditch full of water not far north of their Dewald Street homes in Freeman Monday evening, July 7. The opportunity followed a hard rain that dumped more than 2 inches of rain locally, with lesser amounts in rural areas. The strong system also produced hail in Freeman and a tornado threat further to the south/southeast. Skies have cleared, but another chance of rain and stormy weather develops on Thursday.
