What does WCCO weather say about the recent tornado?”
Eyewitnesses spotted a tornado in downtown Minneapolis Wednesday afternoon. Minneapolis has partially activated its Emergency Operations Center. However, there are no reports of injuries at this time. In addition to damage being reported in areas of south Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Convention Center sustained significant roof damage while about 2,200 people were registered inside.
