[@JustStephaniiex]

That flight casually flying there in the beginning 😅😵‍💫😳

[@BarrieWilson-s2r]

Your weather is so much more interesting in us than here in UK.

[@scottschneider7401]

Yeah, that cool, rainy stuff is for the ducks - isn't it? We get a few clunkers like that every summer too.

[@danhutson3460]

I live in Senoia, Georgia, a small town south of Atlanta & it would be nice to have a few years of boring weather, especially in the Spring. I have never been close to a tornado, but have been in some storms that seemed just as bad.

[@cotminooffical]

This girl and dude is so chill

[@Pekora-nb6cz]

Everyone minnesotan under thirty's high af from the moment they wake up.

[@michaelveis6498]

This looks like a powerful electrical storm

[@Nitegame]

Theres been lots of storms this year in Minnesota and im tired of it

[@Top5naturaldisaster]

"Minneapolis just got a front-row seat to nature's most electrifying performance-talk about a supercell showstopper!"

[@stevenferaldo3238]

Power went out in Edina @1:05. Got it back at 10:00.

[@NittanyTiger1]

KMPX wasn't actually down. NWS Chanhassen had radar. There was just a network malfunction that kept it from sending out data to everyone else. I did manage to get level 3 data that night, but it was only base reflectivity.

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Good to know, thank you.

[@andreabetzala5416]

You guys get the same kind of thunderstorms as Florida. But is there a reason why the storms move so slowly in Minnesota?

[@tyasspage]

Damn i must have slept through this storm

[@VinceDunsford123]

6:16 Power goes out And yes my speaker 🔊 does that too when being unplugged

[@andreabetzala5416]

Pretty awesome listening to the rolling thunder.

[@Kmwsstudios]

I like the thumbnail it look like as if it was morning time but thank you😊

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Thank you! It’s a screenshot of the moment the first transformer exploded, I liked the bluish hue and the bending tree tops. 😊

[@BarrieWilson-s2r]

Much better than wimpy storms we get in UK. When we have them, which is once in a blue moon

[@Nitegame]

I'd rather have that than this scary storms

[@scottschneider7401]

Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa have gotten these just about every other day this summer seems like. Maybe I should move down there? 🤔

[@spiked200]

Lost power for about five hours in this storm.

[@dylansmith1833]

9:15 was that a strike or a transformer blowing? Couldn't tell.

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Good eye - that was indeed a second transformer. I have no idea why it blew when it did, the strong winds had mostly subsided by that point. I’m open to hearing possible reasons for this.

[@juliethurley9864]

Didnt hear any thunder

[@alexandre1986RS]

Amazing thanks for sharing!

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@scottschneider7401]

This was definitely the height of the summer by far up to this point. I was watching this on the radar as well myself as it was raging as a colossal supercell and then I began to see it morphing into a linear forced wind driven bow echo that went through and then died down as it moved toward Wisconsin. We got even more of a direct hit up here. I watched out the kitchen window while the wind rocked the trees and the sky was filled with fiery blue bolts. A transformer blew out in the wind a few blocks down toward the end of the thunderstorm and we were also without power for five hours. It was an oddly quiet eerie glow of the city lights under the cloud ceilings after the storms had settled down and moved away. That was the second of three times that we had a power failure in a month from a transformer blowing out. The first one was not weather related, though, it was simply raining and it seems that one right across the street blew out and failed because it was old. I have to say though that this was about as good as it has gotten up here for storms, at least in this part of the metro throughout the summer - as other than a few other light shows and a lot of rain it seems like this is the place and Minneapolis where storms have gone to die.

[@Pekora-nb6cz]

Ooo lightning.. that means it's a supercell, right?

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Its rotation and incredible height were good qualifiers, the lightning was just a show of its power! ⚡️

[@Nitegame]

Did it go right over you?

[@jean-michelmenard394]

Wow that insane

[@frankiealec]

There’s a place called Gaylord?

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Yes, classic MN

[@davidgore1435]

Yep I came on the 16th

[@dianefarley37]

Next time more storm, less editing. Please?

[@rosaliejeanne4681]

Noted. Are you referring to the cuts or the captions?

[@prettyuglymonster]

I live in St.Paul and was awake (reading, and monitoring radar on my phone) when that system raced through. The wind shook my building, and there was brief pea-sized hail in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood. Pretty impressive storm. I really like this video.
