While looking on our local TV weather page for info on last night's storms in our area, I happened on this great video taken of a tornado in Minnesota last month.

Go here, and click on the link titled VIDEO: Tornado touches down." (or try the link on the video title; I think I did it right) The video is approximately three minutes in length.

Cool video.

I watched the video and I hate to say this, but here in Oklahoma that wouldn't be considered much of a tornado.

Wow... there's something you don't see everyday!

I lived in OK for a couple of years, and agree that their stuff is bigger and scarier; but I thought this was a pretty cool video in that most people don't often get the chance to see a tornado develop. I never thought that MN was a place that was frequented by tornadoes, being so far north and all. I learn something new every day.

Thanks for sharing. I've often wondered how those things start.

Thanks! That was cool!
