wow.
Hope thats all there is to the damage. hope none of you guys got hurt.
It ddidn't go through the house did it?
my area :mad:
a big tree got cut in half and fell down on our shack.
our little home built play ground busted down.
Across the street, i think our neighbors house is messed up. The firetruck is there. I was watching them, i think they are pulling a tree. The street has tons of twigs. I had to pull a huge branch off the street so cars could drive safely.
It is pretty pitch black here, i hope nothing else went wrong.

I just about drove through a 2ft deep puddle. Just before that happened a car spun out in front of me on hwy100. Driving in rain sucks.

I just got back from Fridley. They had straightline winds that uprooted trees. The tree that was standing in front of my car in the Anoka County Library parking lot fell straight away from my car. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Tried to take pics with my camera but didn't turn out.
We were hold up in the library until the storms passed. Then jumped on the ham radios to find out what the extent of the damage was. The intersections on University ave north of 694 had standing water in them. The power is completely out up there. It almost looked like a war zone.

Crazy pics. Stupid MN and it's crappy sand for soil. Two of my half grown everygreens are at a slant now. You wouldn't see that crap in ND. lol. Also, my moveable basketball hoop blew over backward (the hard way).
I drove up 169 about 7:30pm, starting at 694, and only one stop light worked (not even the blinking red light) all the way to Ramsey. The worse part is when you get vertigo from the rain and cars in front of you and you think your car is moving when it's not.
I hope everyone is Ok.

Wow the tree took a hit but the Weber grill is still hanging out. (#2 pic)
My power was off for a long time and we got lots of hail, the DSM was in side all safe, but the Saturn was out side in Brooklyn park with the back windows down…oh well.

how bad is it? if you guys got hit by hail pretty good then my company will probably be opening an office up there. In which case I'll be coming home!

Majority of the damage here was from hail. 2 sides of the garage look like someone was using it for sling shot target practice. Lost 2 12' Pines. I didnt have both hood pins in the hood of the rally car so the hood is kinda bent to crap.
Biggest damage I could see in the dark last night was next door neighbors privacy fence is about 1/3 gone.
Will post pictures after the light comes back.
