major storm tore apart a northern section of Minneapolis just a few hours ago http://www.kare11.com/news/article/92404...rnado-touchdownshot of very-very heavy damage in that old neighborhood of well built homes and large old trees.TV shows people just coming out with chain saws to start clearing streets as fire and EMT can't get thru..worse in over 30 years. i heard the warning sirens at my home in South Minneapolis and could see very heavy weather to my north just after a hail storm passed thru.

For my peace of mind, the area around the airport wasn't hit, correct?
I've got some friends there but at this time of day they'd be asleep (or, I suppose, busy with more important things than checking email) The Mpls/St Paul airport area was not hit

We get tornadoes here all the time and people still aren't prepared. That being said, it is kinda hard to prepare for a tornado. There were news reports here of people being sucked out of their basement while seeking shelter.
Good to hear that your alright. BTW, the storm in Joplin has so far claimed 89 people. God Bless their souls.

From the photos I've seen, the level of destruction is unbelievable. This twister must have been a monster.

News reports claim the tornado was half-mile wide.
