Many Bond County residents received a weather surprise Friday afternoon.
While the National Weather Service had been calling for a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with the possibility of some of them being strong to severe, there wasn’t any kind of warning when a strong thunderstorm cell popped up in the southeast part of the county and a funnel cloud was spotted by many folks.
