365 in 365: Images 175 through 181

Finally getting to the end of June.  While the Wifey and I were in Chicago, the Twin Cities experienced some severe thunderstorms.  We were concerned because we have a large maple tree dominating our back yard that drops loose branches whenever the wind picks up.  This week of pictures captured the weather damage around Minneapolis/St. Paul.
