MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for the counties that include Minneapolis and St. Paul, and says it has received a report of a tornado just north of downtown.

The weather services say it received reports of the tornado at 2:11 p.m. Wednesday. Radar shows the storm is moving north at about 20 mph. It reportedly damaged a downtown church.

The tornado warning covers central Anoka County, northeastern Hennepin County and western Ramsey County. It remains in effect until 2:45 p.m.

Electric Fetus reported on their Twitter page that their building sustained damage and had closed.

Viewer photos showed downed trees in south Minneapolis.

This area is not too far away from the Metrodome. It's god's retribution for allowing Favre to be a Viking. Now, if one can only hit DT Saint Paul for allowing Franken to become our senator.

But all kidding aside, I was nearly by the area today on my bike, about to lift weights at my college. I decided to surf here instead before lifting weights.

EF-0? That’s not even a fricking gust of wind.

Did it suck the roof off the dome? That would be retribution from G_d. :)

F-0?? Isn’t that just a big dust devil?

It was just Franken getting back in town, it’s the only scale big enough to grade how bad he sucks.

Did Ted Baxter from WSM-TV do a special report?

Just because I wanted to know: “The Electric Fetus is a record store with locations in Minneapolis, Duluth and St. Cloud in Minnesota.”

[tongue-tied]

“Electric Fetus”? What kind of a business is that?

I’ve passed gas faster than an EF-0.

I’ve passed gas faster than an EF-0.

Which is why you live where you do and I live where I do.

Warning until 2:45 p.m.? The siren is going off again in St. Paul (3:20 p.m.)...

God might be affecting both cities for both follies.

Now this is a tornado.............

Why do you say EF-0 in the headline? The original headline doesn’t say that, and it doesn’t say that anywhere in the story either. It would be unlikely to have an official rating until the NWS does a damage assessment, which takes awhile.

God please be with these people, keep them safe.
