Laurel Street This Morning
After The Storm
Downtown Richmond saw a powerful thunderstorm cell come through last night around 7 pm. Thankfully, no serious damage or injuries reported. And Laurel Street neighbor Teresa Birchett took a photo of what many downtown residents saw – a rainbow after the storm. Note: There is the possibility we may see more storms this afternoon after a lot of humid heat.
