A storm to remember!

April showers bring May flowers.  The torrential downpour, the thunder, the lighting—all of it something to remember about spring 2017.  It also was a reminder of the pitfalls that wet roads and pavement create.  At one point yesterday, emergency departments across the Greenville Health System, including Oconee Memorial’s, treated five weather-related injuries. Three involved motor-vehicle accidents, although at least two patients were treated in connection with slipping or falling on wet floors.  Lightning hit a tree just a few feet from the porch of Barbara Wilson, Walhalla’s Official U-S Weather Observer.
