Looks like we’re about to get hit by another big storm in 30 minutes or so. Running errands this weekend, I was surprised at the amount of damage I saw from this past weekend’s storm, especially along Snelling Avenue. Our entire neighborhood woke up early Sunday morning when that storm rolled through–I remember looking out the windows and seeing lights on all the way up and down the block despite it being 3:30 in the morning–but while impressive it didn’t seem like something that would do $3 million in damage to the State Fair Grounds.

It sounds like this night’s storm will come in two waves. Uptown will probably miss the first wave, but it looks like we’ll get clocked by the second one. Maybe the Danielson household will end up like we did Saturday morning: Mom sitting in a chair feeding baby, Dad sitting on the floor with kitty, pigs over in their cage doing whatever it is pigs do.

OK, back to my pre-reading for orientation at the U of M tomorrow. More later.
