When it rains...
... it pours! Recently, with the abnormally high temperatures and unbearable heat indexes, there have been some severe storms at Notre Dame.

And while many the damage is being quickly tended to, there are some unique scenes about campus... especially the appearance of a third lake.

Ralph said, "I feel blessed!"
