      Gallery: Strong morning storms wreak havoc on 1st day of summer

      Severe thunderstorms Friday morning wreaked havoc not only on the morning commute, but also on the first day of summer. A myriad of issues arose as the first, then second, round of storms moved through, including (but not limited to) fallen trees, power outages, flash flooding, water main breaks, a sinkhole and even a "gustnado."
