Ho.LEE.SHIT. I can't remember if anyone on my friends list lives near or in Minneapolis, MN, but if there is, get inside and away from your windows as soon as possible. There's an insane storm headed your way. It's a bow echo (which means GIGANTIC winds - upwards of 70mph) but it also has weirdly intense convection that no one on my forums has seen before in a long time that are giving insanely huge hail (think golf ball and larger being driven by 70mph winds!), and there's also a hook starting on the southern end of the radar image with some absolutely INCREDIBLE rotation (I'm counting nine mesocyclone markers, one TVS (tornado vortex signature), and a few other 3DC Shear markers). It has been tornado warned as well.
I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who got in front of it (DUMBASS MOVE RIGHT THERE) and then couldn't get out of its way and got cored. He's reporting 80-90mph winds, airborn debris, golf ball and larger hail, and some incredible cloud to ground lightning.
I know this is boring to everyone else on my FL, but seriously; if you're in or around Minneapolis, then for all that's good and holy, take cover.
*goes back to watching the sucker pummel people*
