1. Maybe they're half right. Maybe God ~is~ sending us a message.
The message is:

"Jeeze, if I knew a storm was all it was going to take to get you to see that monkey in the White House for the butthead that he is, I'd have sent you one a long time ago. In fact, - here, - have another."

2. For you Fargo fans:
there's a funnel cloud just spotted in White Bear Lake.

Go Bears.

3. 80-mile-an-hour straightline winds reported
Power out in the town I grew up in (Maple Grove).

Lots of damage in Hennepin County (Minneapolis) and tornados spotted in Ramsey County (St. Paul). Plus it's still building up and moving into Wisconsin.

Things are getting interesting...

5. These situations remind me of the old Chinese saying......
"May your children live in interesting times."

OK, they said it to your parents.......

:scared:

6. Just heard three houses were destroyed in Andover, MN
which is 20 miles north of Minneapolis. Unfortunately people are trapped inside, too. Don't know if it was a tornado or straight-line winds.

Andover is a fairly new bedroom community, so I'm guessing it was a twister-- straight-line winds have to be pretty strong to knock down three houses.

7. Nothing happened to me.
Of course, I'm northwest of the Twin Cities.

10. I am in the south suburbs
Virtually nothing here...a little rain, some fireworks, but no hail or nasty winds.

11. Hope everyone will be all right.
I hate tornadoes, not scared of them, just hate them, so capricious, and vicious.

Now, if it destroyed the Vikings and their stadium...:evilgrin:
(Just adding a little levity to a serious topic.)
