First off- I want to correct earlier reports that the tornado was in NORTH downtown Minneapolis which is apparently where it was not.
Damage was reported in SOUTH Minneapolis along Portland Avenue and into the south portion of downtown (see earlier post/photo).
Here is an assortment of photos just in- courtesy of WCCO-TV...
The church reported damaged "lost part of a steeple"- a music store was damaged- and tents outside of the Minneapolis Convention Center were ripped apart and blown around.
Still- no reports of anyone hurt- amazing since there was no severe weather watch OR warning prior to the tornado touchdown.
In fact- the Twin Cities weren't even in any forecasted "risk" area for severe weather- until after the tornado.
