Hail on Como Lake

Lisa Peterson-de la Cueva photo – Tornado sirens wailed across Como Lake in St. Paul last Saturday, May 31st. Not that anybody cared. People continued their leisurely strolls around the lake as ominous clouds gathered in hues of grey and dark tones. Within an hour, hail and rain pounded the water, the storm cleared, the sun burst out boldly filling the sky rainbows, and then disappeared behind charcoal clouds again. None of this stopped the wedding at Black Bear Crossing or the onlookers who took the Minnesota summer weather in stride.
