Super Storm 7-17-2010 Minneapolis, MN

A massive severe weather outbreak takes Minnesota into its grips once again. Sadly only the extreme southern tip of the super cell nicks my area in south Minneapolis. I had more fun putting this video together than watching the storm because as time passed, the weaker it got. Go figure!!! Like my luck at the casino. I tossed in a bit of music at the end which I composed on Logic Express 8.

what website is the radar off of?

[omgthisiscrazy1]

@Worcester2007 Radar loops from the NWS in Chanhassen, MN.

@omgthisiscrazy1 Can you zoom in closer to the location at all, for example Richfield or Blaine?

[omgthisiscrazy1]

@Worcester2007 ...Yes you can zoom in as close as you want during the loops. You just click on the screen once the loops load up and continue clicking on the screen until you get the desired zoom on your computer. Once that happens then enable the radar to refresh on its own so you get continuous updates. You'll see all the buttons on the radar screen.

I remember this storm quite well - Round 1 of strong storms hit during the afternoon, then this line moved in from the WNW - I had just finished my third round game at a chess tournament at the Chess Castle of Minnesota when these storms moved in ..... Torrential rain flooded the parking lot, a bolt of lightning hit across the street, and one of my dispatchers called in sick for the next day because of storm damage in Blaine .....

@BaseballNut51 It was a wild summer for severe weather.

@omgthisiscrazy1 ok thanks! It seam to take longer to load with iE9 for some reason, I think the final version was released today. I use iE8 at work and i loads almost right away.

@DjHardaFasta - I'm about 15 minutes from there - all suburbs surrounding Minneapolis and St Paul have sirens as do most cities in Minnesota - we certainly have frequent severe weather that call for sirens. Not all siren warnings sound the same but most are similar. Sirens are especially creepy when you hear them late at night - which is a good thing because if they are going off - something is in the area wreaking havoc.

are you in the minnetonka region? in minnetonka do they have sirens?

@garyhstorms10 OOOHHH!! I captured the siren while I was outside video taping the storm coming in on my digital camera. Then I extracted the siren from the video and converted it into an Mp3 format, tossed it in iTunes and added it variously in the video using iMovies.
