This is my favorite kind of thunderstorm… beer-flavored thunderstorm… mmm… Town Hall… Monday…

This is the National Weather Service:  A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey and the entire twin cities metro area.  Expect large hail exceeding six inches in diameter with strong damaging winds in excess of 85 mph.   Trained weather spotters have observed a rotating wall cloud and Doppler radar has indicated a bow echo advancing towards the area just west of the Metrodome.  This storm is currently heading northeast and will be entering the Minneapolis seven corners area at 5:00pm on the 23rd. Please seek shelter immediately at Town Hall and belly up to your nearest south wall to wait out the storm.  This Thunderstorm has the potential to cause significant giddiness, effervescence, and the feelings a child has as the storm clouds descend.
