On April 14, 1886, a devastating "cyclone" tore through St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids, and Rice, killing 72 people and injuring 213. It's still remembered as Minnesota's deadliest tornado.
I bet you haven't seen this video! Nearly 40 years ago a tornado popped up out without warning. Miraculously, the tornado was caught on camera by a news chopper.
This Thursday, Minnesota will host a statewide tornado drill at 1:45 PM and 6:45 PM, helping communities enhance their emergency preparedness during Severe Weather Awareness Week.
