Minnesota Homeowners Dealing With Tornado Hail Damage AGAIN!

May 22 2011 Storms Rip Through Minnesota

Sunday, May 22, 2011, large tornadoes moved through much of Minnesota, damaging many homes and businesses. People in the Twin Cities metro area had to take cover once again as severe storms and tornadoes moved through the area 2 days in a row.

The havoc started about 2 p.m. in St. Louis Park, where a suspected tornado tore up the Cedar Trails Condominiums complex, forcing out residents from the 35-building property.

Minneapolis Tornado Damage was extensive, leaving a trail of devastation for many Minnesota homeowners.

Sunday’s damage appeared consistent with tornadoes rated EF2, which carry winds of 111 to 135 miles per hour. Only 10.7 percent of U.S. tornadoes are rated EF2, and only about 4 percent are stronger. On Monday, damage assessment teams from the National Weather Service will visit dozens of damage scenes and make a final pronouncement on the length, strength and number of tornadoes.
