Storm pics.
 

Heres some pictures of the storm damage in my neighborhood in Big Lake. We got hit pretty hard. luckly my house only got a little damage on the siding from hail. my neighbors tree blew down into my backyard, and there is about 4 large oakes uprooted and a few landed on houses.

sorry there kinda blurry I had to use the cheesy night vision on my camera to get desent pics.

Wow thats pretty intense

Re: Storm pics.
 

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.

Re: Storm pics.
 

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!

Re: Storm pics.
 

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.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Whoa...didnt know it did that much damage.

Re: Storm pics.
 

I couldn't get a pic 'cause it was to dark but all the water found the low piont in the neigborhood wich happend to be in front of eight houses about knee deep.

Re: Storm pics.
 

Eagan didn't get hit to bad, so I didn't expect much more any where else. Thats sucks really bad, hope everyone is ok!

Re: Storm pics.
 

Yeah, we are without power in Fridley since 7 last night. They are talking it may be 2 days before we have power back. The fence on the south side of my house is down, we lost a tree next to the driveway (at a 45* angle above the silver car!! ) and about 40% of the trees on our road are down. Lots of big ones, but luckily the one in front of my house survived. I can't believe that my bike stayed upright!

Re: Storm pics.
 

Looks like I didn't make out as a good as I thought. I was on my way to work when I noticed the biggest tree in my neighboors yard fell over. Then looked at my back yard and saw this. d'oh! The biggest tree in my yard blew over too! Oh well, I guess that means lots of firewood for bonfires. Time for some chain saw action.

That is wild. But the really crazy part is that, I live in Bloomington, and we didn't get one drop of rain. The wind picked up a bit, but nothing too bad. But when I looked north, it looked like the devil himself was stirring the pot. The sky was a redish color, the clouds were swirling, and there was a shit ton of lightning. But I was dry as a bone, with just enough breeze to keep the mosquitos away. Wierd.

Chris, what does Matt's house look like? Any trees blown down? Flooding was insane in Coon rapids. I saw a car with water up to its roof on University and 10, I would have drove into it if I didn't see the dome light just above the water. It hailed three separate times up to golf ball sized at one point. None of Melissa's trees went down but there were plenty scattered through out the neiborhood.

Chris this wouldn't have happened in ND because they don't even have any trees in that state, its so flat and boring! :D

It was nuts. I was on 694 going west and as soon as i crossed the 94 exit i could hardly see. I tried driving for a little bit to get to the closest exit and turn around to go home but i decided to pull over for bit when i could hardly see the semi 10 feet in front of me. I turned on the radio when i got home about 1/2 hour later and a guy called talking about a semi laying on its side right where i was pulled over, im glad i left when i did.

I didn't notice anything major at Matt's house. But I didn't look too close either.
