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.

Cool. I've really missed my guys back in Oklahoma. Weather Channel is telling people here to get ready for huge hail and possible tornadoes, There are four different T-storms warnings in the metro area. The six local channels are all on regular programming, and only two of them are showing radar in an insert

Yeah, I punched in Stella's zip code and it looks nasty. I'm starting to really hate red on weather maps.

You guys all stay safe.

Looks like high winds and hail. My townhome is solid and partially underground. We should be good.

I heard those sirens here in Minneapolis. I was wondering why they were sounding.
