A season full of severe weather (already)

We've had a crazy spring. First it snowed in early May, then we went right into tornado season. In the past two weeks the tornado sirens have sounded a dozen times, mostly over this past weekend. Several tornadoes have ripped up trees and wrecked homes.  While we haven't had any significant damage in our town, Minneapolis wasn't so lucky.  On Sunday a tornado touched down in North Minneapolis.  It killed one person, injured 30 others and left a trail of destruction. 



On Monday I did a story about the storm damage.  You can check out the story here.  While out, I snapped a few pictures.  It's amazing what mother nature can do.  This tornado was on the ground for less than three minutes and managed do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
