Tornadoes in Minnesota in December?? First Time EVER!

 As our quest for headlines reporting the "first time EVER", we were real close to some crazy weather yesterday as we live here in Minnesota.  After being 0 degrees a few weeks ago and having 20 inches of snow dropped on the Twin Cities, it went to 55 degrees yesterday and started melting all the snow.  On top of that lighting and thunder started at out house around 6 pm and some torrential rain which vanished the rest of our snow.

Then the rain quit and at about 9pm and it was very quiet.  About midnight I was awakened by a howling wind which blew for hours.  When we went to bed it was 55 and raining and by morning it was 18 degrees with sharp wind from the North West which had created a "flash freeze".  We'd never really heard the weatherman use those words either but there it was.  And it certainly happened just as he said it was going to.

A rare winter thunderstorm possibly whipped up two December tornadoes in Minnesota Wednesday night — an unprecedented event in recorded state history.  (Translation:  FIRST TIME EVER!)

The National Weather Service said it will send one team to Freeborn and possibly Faribault County in Minnesota on Thursday to determine “whether damage was caused by a tornado or straight line winds” in the Hartland area. A crew will also be assessing possible tornado damage in Plainsview, Minnesota. In Wisconsin, crews will determine damage in Eau Claire County

A possible tornado struck northwest of Albert Lea in Hartland just after 7 p.m., while another unconfirmed one hit just southwest of Wabasha. There are reports of heavy damage to a bank and several homes in Hartland, where winds topped 85 mph. There were no reported injuries.

WCCO spoke with a viewer named Lillie who was in Hartland as the storm passed through. She says her family went into the basement, bringing their dog and cat. She says it was very quiet, and then her mom described the roar of the wind as sounding like a train. When she felt like the danger passed, they walked about a block from their home to a main street and saw some of the damage. Lillie says they are without power Wednesday night.

The Twin Cities was under a Tornado Watch for several hours, which the National Weather Service canceled around 10 p.m.

Joe Biden will tell us this is all part of the climate catastrophe that is upon us.  Bible readers know it's simply more birth pangs of the soon-coming Tribulation.

As Steve Martin would say, "Wild and crazy times!"
