Tornado In Town
Jesse called today exclaiming that things had gotten 'biblical' outside and the power was out at the office and there were trees down in the neighborhood. Turns out a very rare tornado touched down right in Minneapolis with no warning at all. And the majority of the damage was right along 5th Avenue. The nearby indie record store, The Electric Fetus, had some windows blown out and damage to their roof. It's just so odd to see the streets that you drive every week littered with big, beautiful trees that were standing just moments before. 
I don't remember a time in recent memory that a tornado hit so close to downtown and to have it hit right there near work? Nuts. Glad I wasn't there at the time! And I'm glad no one was hurt and that homes and businesses were not damaged worse than they were. Now someone get the power back on so the kiddies can get back to work! haha.
