Minnesota Tornadoes




I'm sure most of you have heard the news about the severe storms and tornadoes that have ripped through the Midwest these past few days. I live in Minnesota, and am lucky enough to be safe and without damage. But the storms have ravaged our state, along with many other states here in the Heartland. Our first tornado of the season was on May 10th, and it hit Medina, MN with minimal damage. But then on Saturday, May 21st, it was the beginning of terrible storms for the next 48 hours. There was a tornado in Minnestrista, MN. Then on Sunday, there were four tornadoes, the worst being one that touched down for 6 minutes in North Minneapolis, which is the pictures you see above. Total devastation of at least 30 homes, and only one death, thankfully. And today, Monday, it is sunny and gorgeous. Mother Nature sure can be cruel. And this is only the beginning of tornado season here in Minnesota. I hope everyone all over stays safe this summer.
