Tornado Season Is Here Again

avonna — Mon, 23 May 2011 19:58:29 +0000

Everyone in Minnesota is thrilled when they see those first green sprouts emerge after a long and hard winter. One obvious spring and summer characteristic that I am hard pressed to find fans of is tornado season.

This last weekend saw an outburst of tornados that devastated much of the metro area. I went to Park Center Senior High, not too far from the North Minneapolis area hit hardest by tornados and high winds. I live in Fridley, which also saw uprooted trees, missing roofs and other damage. We made it out safely, with just some debris in the yard from some unlucky neighbors. My son’s school was cancelled today because the power is still not restored. In one afternoon people lost cars under trees, homes and personal items and a place for their children to learn.

Odds are that you or someone you know was somehow affected by the storms. Since we are still early in the season, more storms are sure to come. S.K.i.N. is a proud member of the community and we want to share information on how to help those that have last so much! Please click on the links to donate time, money or food to your neighbors!
