As Hurricane Debby hits the southeast, a monster storm flew over Minnesota Saturday and the footage will take your breath away. The video was online by Team Zero storm chaser Ryan Scholl and appears to show a major system that caused power outages and at least one EF1 tornado near the Twin Cities area of Minnesota on Saturday night, to KARE11. The National Weather Service (NWS) residents of the severe thunderstorm ahead of time, noting how the storm “will contain two inch sized hail.
” There is no way this is happening rn, Minnesota you are leaving me speechless...
— Ryan Scholl (@WxScholl) It’s kind of hard to believe this thing is real as it moves across the landscape. The lightning and deluge make it feel as if an was asked to create the ultimate video of a storm system. But the best part of the video comes right at the end of the 15 seconds, where you can clearly hear someone say “This whole thing, man!” It’s not what he says but the way he says it.
It’s almost like the guy. And I get it. Nature is freaking awesome .
.. until she’s not.
yesterday evening at 8:03pm just north of Sauk Centre, Minnesota – about 11 minutes later this storm would produce a tornado in Melrose, Minnesota, as it appeared to favorably interact with flanking convection developing to its southwest — Michael Marz (@MichaelMarz1) Other drivers who were unexpectedly caught by the storm like us...
Yep...
Couldn’t drive as the rain made it near impossible to see and the winds were so strong stuff was breaking and falling into the road. Come to Minnesota said! The weather is great said! — Storm Gryphon (@StormGryphon) Sirens rang out in St Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday night as a tornado-warned storm moved through the area. — AccuWeather (@accuweather) “Buildings can be replaced.
Trees can be replanted. I’m just thankful that there’s been no injuries reported, so far,” local fire chief Tom Budde told KARE11. The tornado produced by (what one presumes is) the same system leveled a turkey barn and destroyed a tractor shed, as well as ripping up more than 140 trees.
Damage to some homes was also reported. So, while these insanely gorgeous might make you want to turn off your TV and watch the sheer power of God at work, you’re probably safer inside..
