Folks, I've seen tornadoes in SAO reports, and I know that the
people taking SA's during severe weather have got their
adrenalin pumping.
This guy taking the obs yesterday must have been going bananas,
in Grand Forks, North Dakota (obs are in reverse time order,
read from bottom up, sorry!)...
Code: B=Began, E=Ended.

Count it: a 4 tornado event, lasting almost *2 HOURS*, from 2018Z
(3:18PM CDT) to 2200Z (5:00PM CDT). I want to talk to
the guy who took these obs! (and see some video--someone had to have
a camera. They sure as heck had enough time to go get one!) Is this a record
for time of tornadoes visible at one station from a storm?
Note the last ob: It was still on the ground, but he lost sight of it.
More importantly, haven't heard anything from GFK yet on the news,
I take it their northern suburbs aren't looking too good right now...
