A message from Council Member Chavez

The risk of severe storms in Minneapolis on Monday is unusually high – a level 4 of 5. Tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and frequent lightning are likely.  The greatest threat will be in the late afternoon and early evening Monday, April 28.   

Storm preparedness tips for residents:  

• Ensure you have multiple ways to receive alerts.   

• If alerts are issued, be ready to take immediate shelter in a basement or interior room on the lowest level.  

• Secure outdoor furniture and décor in preparation for strong winds.  

• Clear leaves and debris from in front of catch basins to ensure water can get to the drain. 

• Prepare for potential power outages. Charge devices and have a flashlight on hand.
