Nearly 90,000 People Given Minutes to Seek Shelter: 'Take Cover Now!'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Nearly 90,000 people were given minutes to seek shelter on Monday afternoon when a tornado prompted National Weather Service (NWS) officials to issue an urgent warning. "We are in our typical severe weather season," NWS lead meteorologist Daniel Robinson told Newsweek. "Our peak season runs from mid-June through July." Reports and pictures of a tornado in parts of west-central Minnesota were shared with the Grand Forks, North Dakota, NWS office, although no damage has been reported so far. Why It Matters Much of the U.S. was battling some form of dangerous weather on Monday, with extreme heat plaguing the Southwest and flooding downpours hammering parts of the Northeast. Whereas some weather alerts can be issued hours or even days in advance, tornados are sudden and often arrive with little warning, meaning people usually only have minutes to take shelter. People across parts of Minnesota were urged to take shelter on Monday afternoon, with those who were outdoors or in mobile homes particularly at risk for flying debris. What to Know On Monday afternoon around 4:20 p.m. local time, the Grand Forks, North Dakota, NWS office issued multiple tornado warnings for cities in Minnesota, including Southwestern Cass County, Northwestern Crow Wing Count, and Southeastern Otter Tail County. The warnings were scheduled to remain in effect for around 10 minutes. An image of a tornado in Lincoln, Nebraska. An image of a tornado in Lincoln, Nebraska. JP Midwest Storm Chaser/Getty Radar indicated tornadic rotation. Quarter-sized hail also posed a threat. "TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris," the warning said. "Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is likely," the warning added. A tornado watch will remain in effect for much of central Minnesota through 9 p.m. local time. In addition, there is also a severe thunderstorm warning, severe weather statement, and hazardous weather outlook in place. Hazardous weather outlooks were in place across many states, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. The outlooks warned of hail, damaging winds, and tornados. What People Are Saying Hazardous weather outlook issued by Grand Forks, North Dakota, NWS office: "Isolated thunderstorms will bring a threat for lighting through the early evening. Active pattern keeps daily thunderstorm chances in the forecast nearly each day this week. Strong to severe storms are possible." NWS Duluth, Minnesota, in a severe weather statement: "Hail damage to vehicles is expected. Expect wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees." What Happens Next Severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches remain active across parts of the state.

Go green in Dublin
100 Weekends in Europe by Lonely Planet spotlights green spaces in and around Dublin, Ireland. If you were to plan a weekend in Dublin, you'd imagine a city break. Maybe gazing at the archaeological treasures of the National Museum of Ireland, taking a stroll around the Trinity College campus, having a drink and taking in the top-floor view at the Guinness Storehouse ( or listening to music in a Temple Bar pub. All great Dublin experiences. But also worth including on your itinerary are the city's green spaces: St Stephen's Green, the most popular; Merrion Square, an elegant public garden; Herbert Park, full of locals enjoying outdoor sports; and Phoenix Park, the largest city park in Europe. And there's much more greenery of the less manicured variety on Dublin's southern doorstep in County Wicklow, a wild land combining coastal splendour with a mountainous interior studded with chilly lakes, glacial valleys and the remains of an early monastic site. For a taste of this Garden of Ireland, set off on the Wicklow Way hiking trail ( from Rathfarnham on Dublin's outskirts and see how far you get. Hike in Glendalough In the heart of the Wicklow Mountains National Park, Glendalough (the valley of two lakes) is considered one of Ireland's most beautiful spots, thanks to its wild and romantic landscapes. It's also a great place to hike and to view the impressive ruins of an ancient monastic site and its famous round tower. The valley is crisscrossed by nine trails, the longest of which is about 10km long. Set off from the national park information centre ( near the upper lake carpark. A bus service (St Kevins bus; links Dublin to Glendalough twice a day in just under one hour, 30 minutes. Be intoxicated by Powerscourt Gardens The eminent 19th century horticulturist Daniel Robinson, creator of the splendid Powerscourt Gardens, was allegedly sometimes too drunk to stand in the exceptional gardens he designed. You too will be intoxicated by the terraces, statues, water features and grottoes of the vast green spaces Robinson created, where over 200 varieties of trees and plants grow. Elsewhere on the estate, seek out the 121m Powerscourt waterfall, accessed by road and footpath. From Enniskerry, 18km south of Dublin, it's a short walk to Powerscourt. Saunter through a coastal garden just outside Bray, a popular seaside resort with a long promenade along the beach: Killruddery House & Gardens ( is a mix of historic manor house (guided tour compulsory) and one of Ireland's oldest gardens, where an impressive collection of statues and plants flourishes. From Dublin, Bray is just 20km south and can be reached by bus in less than 45 minutes. Admire Dublin from Howth Summit The pretty port of Howth sits on a green peninsula 15km northeast of the Irish capital (30 minutes by train). The hill overlooking the town provides spectacular views of Dublin Bay back to the city. Howth also has a castle with grounds that contain a dolmen (ancient tomb) and medieval ruins. Buy local at Avoca Handweavers It was in the tiny village of Avoca, located in a wooded valley in County Wicklow, that Avoca Handweavers ( Ireland's most famous traditional clothing manufacturer, was born. To stock up on knitwear and elegant handmade souvenirs, there are two branches: 11-13 Suffolk Street, in central Dublin; or Kilmacanogue, 5km (3 miles) southeast of Enniskerry, at the company's headquarters, which occupies a 19th century arboretum. More time? Mt Usher Gardens: A green paradise on the edge of Ashford, 50km south of Dublin. Kilmacurragh Botanic Gardens: Ornamental gardens set around an 18th century manor house, 65km south of Dublin. Kilmainham Gaol: In Dublin, this former prison houses a remarkable museum retracing the painful process that led to Irish independence. Great Sugar Loaf: The Great Sugar Loaf is County Wicklow's iconic peak (501m), a conical shape looming over the village of Kilmacanogue, 35km south of Dublin. The round system It's my round! The getting-a-round-in system of paying for a drink with the person/people who bought you one is the foundation of Irish pub culture, summed up very simply by the Irish saying: "It's impossible for two men to go to the pub for just one drink." Make sure you follow this sacred rule. And why not comply with a pint of famous Guinness, the black stout developed in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, which is said to take its flavour from the water of the Wicklow Mountains. Practicalities How to get there & around Dublin Airport has flights to destinations across Europe and the rest of the world. Once in the city, in addition to buses and trams for getting around, the Dublin Area Rapid Transport (Dart) provides a fast train service to the coast, as far as Howth. Enniskerry, a good base for visiting Powescourt and Glendalough, is 45 minutes by Dart, then 30 minutes by bus 185. Where to stay County Wicklow is a popular weekend destination for Dubliners, so book early. You'll find everything from hostels and backpacker campsites to farmhouses converted into B&Bs and manor houses transformed into luxury hotels. Among these, the Powerscourt Hotel & Spa ( is a huge, luxury option right on the Powerscourt Estate. Events In September, the weather can be surprisingly mild, making it a good time for hiking and enjoying the Dublin Fringe Festival ( with over 100 shows being held in the streets and bars of the capital.
