No actual tornadoes sighted, but the storm center is heading right for the Twins game downtown.

2. There is huge hail coming down not far from here.
Just ran out to get my car in the garage. They called off the Twins game. It's getting really dark and ominous, but no tornadoes so far.

5. Some really huge hail north of here, the size of tennis balls.
On TV they showed the Twins stadium with quarter-sized hail falling in the dugout. It looks like the game will continue, the bad stuff is over. Now they are getting some bad weather in western WI. I got some smaller hail, glad I got the car in the garage in time.

6. Got a basement? That might work but only if it has an exterior exit... Stay safe!

8. The center of the system missed me by about a mile.
I got some thunder, lightning, rain and small hail, but I just sat around watching TV (and seeing the Twins game get hailed on) while the cats hid from the thunder. No big deal where I was, as it turned out.

9. Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to be getting
more of the same here today in the Twin Towns.... It feels ominous and creepy out, weatherwise.

Only good thing is that I drove to work today and am parked underground.
