Doesn't take much to entertain me.
Combination of wind, humidity, sirens popping off, some great lightning topped with frosting-like clouds created quite a stir in downtown Minneapolis last night near the Guthrie Theater.
Rubenesque, or full-figured, are descriptors that come to mind to describe the clouds.
The sky show created some pea-sized hail that pinged off cars and bounced off sidewalks.
Weather is worth worrying about. But it's also a great spectator sport when no one gets hurt.
And as usual Paul Huttner has lots of information on how it all came about.
