As of March 3, 2011 the most recent tornado to strike Minnesota was an EF0 near of the town of Dalbo in the east central part of the state on July 30, 2011. Two other EF0 tornadoes touched down in Minnesota early that same day, one in Todd county in the center of the state and another in Traverse County, near the state line with North and South Dakota. However, there will certainly be more tornadoes in Minnesota in the future.
In 1883, a massive F5 tornado hit Rochester, Minnesota on August 21, 1883. The largest tornado in the Rochester, New York area was an F1 in 1980 that caused no injuries or deaths.
Air in a tornado is rapidly drawn upward. This creates low pressure as more air rushes in to replace it. However this can ever completely fill the pressure deficit until the upward movement stops.
Yeap. They are coming back to Minnesota in the summer =)
