Tackling Tornado Tax Deductions in Montgomery County
Memorial Day weekend is typically the kickoff to summer, a festive time attending parades, backyard BBQing, and spending time with family while honoring fallen military personnel. May is also the most common month for tornadoes. Unfortunately for several states, the May long weekend of 2019 was not much of a holiday as more than 500 tornadoes touched down.
