Significant tornado strikes North Minneapolis

What appears to be the most significant tornado in 30 years tore through North Minneapolis Sunday.

Spotter reports indicate the tornado may have first touched down around 2:16pm near Wirth Park, tracked northeast through North Minneapolis then crossed the Mississippi River before lifting in Northeast Minneapolis.

Early damage reports show what appears to be a nearly continuous damage swath that may be up to 3.5 miles in length, and up to 1/4 mile wide. Damage is extensive in North Minneapolis with roofs gone, garages blown apart and numerous large trees uprooted or snapped across roadways.

I live just South of downtown Minneapolis and can hear lots of emergency vehicles with their sirens on. FYI, the population of the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis/St. Paul is over 3 million, so when a tornado hits, there is going to be damage.

On the news Rybak is telling people not to light cigarettes because of the gas leaks.

Well the mid west does get it's shares of tornado's but going right into the downtown is kind of a big deal because it is densely populated.

Missed this thread earlier. Was watching the helicopters fly over the damaged areas, it was really severe, so many smashed houses and destroyed trees.

Hope it missed Bryn Mawr, I know people there. Hope there won't be fires either, but I can't imagine how there couldn't be.

The sound of chainsaws and the smell of wet elm wood - that is spring/summer in the Twin Cities. Reminds me of growing up, so many big trees, so much storm damage.

They mentioned "worst in Mpls in 30 years" I lived in a house in the early eighties that had been hit in that South Minneapolis tornado back then, there was still glass particles embedded in the paint of the woodwork and in the corners of the rug. It blew all the windows in.
