“Severe thunderstorms in the Upper Midwest spawned fifty-one tornadoes killing 256 persons and causing more than 200 million dollars damage. Indiana, Ohio and Michigan were hardest hit in the “Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak”. Although no F5’s were officially reported, at least 22 were rated as F3 or F4. This is the third deadliest day for tornadoes on record, behind the Super Outbreak of 4/3/1974, and the outbreak that included the Tri-State Tornado of 3/18/1925.

1965…. I was 6 years old…. one of my earliest memories was surveying the damage caused by a strong tornado that caused havoc in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. my dad was part owner of a rental house that was destroyed in the Fridley Minnesota tornado. several killed many injured. not the same storm as Tony Heller reports here as this happened roughly a month after.. thankfully Minnesota has not seen a lot of tornado activity in the past 40 years but I remember as a kid every time there was a tornado warning my mom said we got to head to the basement. https://www.mnopedia.org/event/fridley-tornado-1965
