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.

truth!

[Goodnbuzzd]

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

Awesome pictures here dudes that took 'em. 'Twas a fun storm!

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

Took some video but don't have the software or the cable to put on here.

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.

reminds me of "war of the worlds".. minus the aliens thing.... i hope...

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.

Hey...FG2...that black truck parked in the picture...didn't happen to just buy it did ya? Or who's ever it is.

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

Wall Street up in North Moorhead is crazy lots of huge trees are all sorts of screwed up.

When we were in Park Rapids on Sat. everyones parents were calling them about the weather. lolz

No, however I think it is for sale. I'm pretty sure they live in the twin home pictured behind it. Want more info, or did it originate from you?!?

[Raider]

I was at the Lake Sat when it hit...I watched the storm come closer and the wind hit like a freight train and pushed me back 3 feet and I said "OH F_CK" and ran for cover...luckly I had no damage to my place, but there were many trees down

Rob Kupec (WDAY channel 6 Meterologist) just emailed me and is gonna use one of my pics on the news tonight! That's purdy shweet!
