    i was closer to downtown when it hit. I was on my back porch working on the house and it got real dark and real windy real fast. Then i heard the sirens just a few blocks away.

    What was freaky is that 1hr later the sun was back, brighter than ever.

      It was a bad ass lookin cloud. i was at moorhead high school stadium watchin the liberty game, that cloud was gettin closer, by the time it was halftime the sirens started goin off and it looked pretty sweet.

      what i get a kick out of was everyone in the parking lot at the game freaking the f out. first of all theyre just sirens, we've been through these 100 times, when you start seeing rotation in the clouds is when you book it.

      the people who call into the radio for updates are the best though.."we're at southside kmart and we hear the sirens"...no shit, the entire metro does

          That was one bad storm! I was heading into fargo from barnsville on interstate when it hit. My wife and i had to pull over under a bridge because the wind and rain was coming down so hard. I heard a tornado was on the ground up by gardner and then i heard on the radio there was another twister on the ground sound of star fireworks going through a field. Yeah that wall cloud was mean looking.

          Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
          Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
          Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
          Torque is how far you take the wall with you

              Had a funnel cloud go over my apt complex about 20-30ft above. Never made contact but did damage nonetheless. It was spooky to look at.

                FWIW, it wasn't a wall cloud. It was a shelf cloud, which is generally on the front of a storm, where a wall cloud is generally on the tail end of a storm.

                    yes it was a huge shelf cloud, but, beneath it was a clear rotation, as you can see in some of my pictures you can see the inflow, and a pretty defined wall cloud, although it fell apart fairly rapidly once it was over the moorhead area, it was fairly nasty looking either way you see it.

                      It was super crazy to experience! I got a little bit of video of it, but it has me screaming like a girl due to a lightning strike like a 100' away, so I'll keep that to myself 🙂

                        And lol @ the pink shirted chick out for what appears to be a stroll with ominous storm clouds approaching.

                              Crazy. That's exactly what I thought when I looked at the first of FG2's pics. Looks like the alien ships will break through the cloud layer any moment.

                                  Yeah. It would really, really blow if there was hidden, buried alien technology just waiting for its builders to return in order to attack/kill us all.

                                  The horror.

                                    That's messed up. I was thinking about ID4 also, weird.

                                        We were just getting to the Hub when the sirens started going off. The clouds were pretty crazy looking but we didn't really think anything of it. However, once the sirens started, the Hub locked the doors and wouldn't let anyone in. Apparently, they didn't want to be liable if anyone was hurt in their establishment during a possible tornado and felt it would be better if we were hurt waiting in our car in the parking lot. haha
