Based on eyewitness reports, at least one tornado touched down near downtown Minneapolis earlier this afternoon. The Convention Center, which is only a few blocks from my building, had some roof damage as did a nearby church. I came home half-expecting to discover at least one blown-out window, but all is calm here on the 19th floor. I didn’t even lose power.
It might be a good time to review my insurance policy, though.

Thank you Marc. I didn’t realise there are so many coloured people in your town, nor did I know what the dialect sounds like there.
In Belgian towns one never finds such a lot of vegetation: instead of being green places, our towns are usully grey and dusty.
But also here in Belgium a storm was predicted for the evening. However, the dog’s calm mood told me it wouldn’t come. And indeed, it didn’t.
