1. It just passed thru western Plymouth.
Some significant wind, but mainly just really heavy rain.

12. The sky was so green that I shut off the computer, just in case..
and then... a tree branch broke and blocked the driveway. I called the tree people but until I heard from them I managed to cut the thinner branches to open half the driveway. Wished I waited half an hour since by the time I was done they showed up..

No wonder the squirrels were nervous this morning went on a feeding frenzy... OK, more than the usual..

4. Not much in Park Rapids
It got really dark for a while and looked like it could get nasty but it all blew over. At least it cooled down a little.

Some good wind gusts (estimate 40-50) and a short very heavy rain.
No hail, no significant electrical activity.
Already clearing. Glad I wasn't driving.

8. Downtown St. Paul
Blew away all our ArtsWork tents at Ecolab plaza. Broke a window. Thank heavens no one was in the tents at the time.

13. Yeah, what a mess that was!
A power transformer on the south side of 94 was sparking, just out the nearest window. A couple of wall clouds were bumping into each other around the Hwy 52/I-94 junction, stirring up dust. The sky was green and it looked like tornado weather to me...

Wacky stuff that was.

11. Really dark skies, fierce winds, and sheets of rain
in Linden Hills. I've seen worse lightning, though.
