Tornado Hits, Cat's A Dog, Porn Convention Afire, Water Recall and Ballplayer Saves Ump: June in Review

June was a busy month in Patchland. Tornadoes hit (and thunderstorms still don’t seem like they’ll ever end); a cat was named dog of the year;, a horse collapsed dead on its poor rider;, and a firefighter playing softball rounded second and then returned back to the base to save an umpire’s life.

A lot more happened, too. Here’s a sampling of June’s most-read stories in June from around the Patch network:
