It's a dark and stormy  ... lunch hour ... on this Friday of Grandma's Marathon weekend ... 

as of this writing, the first of possibly several severe thunderstorm warnings over the next few days has been issued for our area.

This is the 42nd Grandma's Marathon.  In 41 years, it's never been cancelled.

Will the streak hold?
