October 25 is very raw, gusty and gloomy in the Twin Cities today. Minnesota has set some weather records today with the lowest barometric reading ever- even lower than those in the November 1975 and 1998 storms.

Makes you wonder what decisions Captain McSorley would have made back in 1975 if he had had the weather technology of 2010. Probably useless speculation. If there is a legacy of the Fitzgerald and Gordon's song, I think that a healthy respect for Mother Nature is everpresent in those of us living in the Great Lakes states.

Here is a link from the Minneapolis Star Tribune referencing Gordon:
