Northern Burbs!! Storm!!

[1QUICK4]

We got strong winds, lightning, rain, and jellybean sized hail here in Ramsey. I got plenty of video.

The lightning was flashing about 45 times a minute from 8pm untill 12pm

I was down in Bloomington last night, and leaded for home around 11 pm. Bad idea. Coming up Normandale, it was near impossible to see, hit a few deep water spots, nothing too bad. Later on hwy 100, just north of hwy 62, there was a low spot in the road that was holding about a foot and a half of water, and 4 or 5 cars. I was in my mom's Jeep Liberty and decided that I could make it through, so I puttered along at about 3 or 4 mph, made it through the puddle, then was on my way. After I went through, 2 guys in trucks grew some balls and followed me. Lightning like crazy the whole way, but once I got to about Brooklyn Center, the rain and wind were prettymuch dead.

Western wisconsin got hit pretty good looks like tornados went through. Hammond Wi has trees down here and there, but new richmond wi There is a tree down in almost every yard. a few guys I work with lost 15 plus trees in their yards alone. A couple houses that were less than 5 years old where completely blown over.

^^ a guy that I work with lives in Baldwin. He said one whole side of his house is pretty beat up from the hail, his kid's playset was all twisted around, bunch of trees down, and no power.
