Weather GK: We interrupt our broadcast right now for this live report
from the national weather service. (KLAXON WARNING) SS: This is a weather service bulletin: civilians on the ground
in Hennepin County have reported what appears to be an area of rainfall
approximately 4 miles north of the airport, --- that is an unofficial
report --- and clouds in the sky shaped like large dark rabbits. As of
yet there are no confirmed reports of thunder, but we are watching the
situation closely---- Brent, you're there on the scene-- TR: I am indeed. Here, live, at Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis
and I can see windshield wipers in use, people holding umbrellas, some
people taking shelter under awnings, Kathy. SS: So you can confirm that rain showers are moving through Minneapolis?
TR: I can. I don't have exact amounts as yet, and exactly how
much it might rain in the next hour or so remains to be seen, but I can
see the rainfall from here ---- I'm standing under what appears to be
an oak tree, or perhaps an elm ---- I'll try to get a clarification on
that later ---- and standing with me is Sergeant Red Olson of the Minneapolis
Police Department ----- Sergeant Olson, what's your advice to people who
are in the path of this rainfall? TK: I would strongly suggest that people who are indoors remain
indoors and people who are outdoors make their way to an indoor location
SS: Sergeant Olsen, Thank you. Thank you, Brent, and we now return
you to our regularly scheduled programming. © Garrison Keillor 2002 |
