Hang On!

I just saw the following Hazardous Weather Outlook that came in this morning from

http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MNZ015&warncounty=MNC119&firewxzone=MNZ015&local_place1=Fosston%20MN&product1=Hazardous+Weather+Outlook&lat=47.5713&lon=-95.7291#.VW3tfNJViko

Hmmm...What to do? What to do?...Ah-ha! Make a checklist!

___1. Park vehicles in garage and shed
___2. Early supper
___3. Camera handy
___4. Move comfy chair, table, light, and entertainment into basement
___5. Hang up checklist
___6. HOLD ON!

I suppose it would be clever to keep a cell phone handy, too

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA...WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ACROSS EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF MINNESOTA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EVENING. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE HAIL UP TO 2 INCHES AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED TORNADO. HEAVY RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

Later that day (9:30 p.m.)...

What a boring storm--sun is breaking through, 25-30 mph wind is now only a slight breeze, no rain. Hmmmph!

So, I check with Valley News Live and find that the storm does not seem to have enough oomph to cross out of the Dakotas into Minnesota. I guess I can go to bed and plop my head down onto my pillow.
