I was wrong the webcam view is due west, you can see the sun setting at the top portion of the camera.  ANd you cn see the pavement below drying too wow.

Looks like it's lightning doing all the preening, rather fascinating to watch and bro is watching because.... he can pick up some tips? And now bro is scratching his ear lol Got an itch, got an itch.

 7:56 Elk River.  I think during the worst of the storm.

[Aline]

I think the worse is over now.

[eagle63_1999]

Yes but the worst of it seems to be to the south west of Elk River

and I would venture that where the Juveniles are the worst has passed.  When you look at the web cam view it seems the view is to the north west, I could be wrong I am just taking a guess.

I think they did sense a change in the weather. I think animals and birds having an uncanny ability to sense things that we don't.

[Aline]

Located right in the middle of that system.

Tornado watch, not warning.  We often get that notice here with big storms.  

[Aline]

I think they sensed beforehand what was coming... I know they don't have internet to view the warnings 

[eagle63_1999]

Elk River is in between the Letters of STC and MSP on the radar. A little north west of the MPX+  That will give you a sort of an idea of where it's located at on the map

Oh no, not a tornado
