Well...

It just got very still and dark outside. The humidity rose sharply and the pressure changed (I can feel it in my ankle). The sky is an unpleasant shade of green.

This is going to end poorly, I'm thinking.

ETA: The first cell blew through at 50 mph. The second storm cell just hit here. 40 mph winds and small hail, followed by rain coming down in buckets.

Son of ETA: Calmer now, though still dark. Thunder and lightning with moderate rain. They are calling for severe t-storms tonight.

Green sky = tornado.

There was a few seconds of stupid high winds, then a little hail. Now it's just pouring buckets of rain.

One thing I do miss about Oklahoma: The weather coverage during storm season was always spot on, and I felt comfortable and confidant in the abilities of the local weather guys (and gals) to keep me informed and warned. I don't always feel that comfortable about the ones here in Minnesota.
