| It's 85 degrees right now in Minneapolis |
|
The wind is blowing, there's dark clouds to the west, and the forcast is for some strong thunderstorms and a low temperature tonight of 43 degrees.
That is a 42 degree drop. That is a lot.

| 1. This is more like July weather, except for the 43 degree forcast |
|
for tonight. Thunder rumbling in the west. Must get off the phone line. Blew my last modem in a t-storm last summer.

85 degrees... yipes. I had 3 computers on today doing some intense work, and it usually gets that warm with them on!
42 degree drop, no wonder this system is whipping upa lot of rotation...

| 11. And then we had one big banger of a thunder/wind storm |
|
The wind blew all day, and around 6:30, the sky grew really, really dark. Then the rain, thunder, and lightening came blowing in. It poured rain, so that the sloping driveway of my apartment's parking lot turned into a shallow waterfall, and the lightning kept flashing like a dying lightbulb.
There were possible tornados south of here.
I guess this is my official welcome back to the Midwest. :-)
