Be safe people. I had the basement fun last night. Wife and kids freaking out. Not much sleep for me. Hopefully 'just' rain tonight.

It's more of a squall line with embedded supercells with isolated tornadoes. Still a rather dangerous situation, but so far nothing like they were expecting.

It's living up to my hype....how many warnings do you need?

Looks like it weakened pretty significantly in just a few minutes.

Small hair in WDM, right now just a pretty good light show after the sirens ended.

I remember knocking the Burnsville Blaze out of the Section Basketball Tournament, I believe the chants were:
Flame on Burnsville and Seasons Over.

Sorry just flashed back to my high school days. At least you didn't say Eden Prairie.

I could barely hear them Wednesday when they were testing them and I had all my windows open and nothing else making noise. I'll listen for them, but I have my tv on just in case.
