Man, do I remember THAT day!! I was at home in St. P. sitting at my computer with no idea that anything was happening until the tornado siren went off. I turned on the TV, and sure enough, a warning was posted. I looked out the window into the courtyard and could have sworn I saw a very, very faint movement there; it resembled a wispy, almost transparent pleated skirt swirling around and around right in the center of the courtyard as though Mrs. Jolly Green Giant had stopped by for a quick dance. And then the image just faded away and was gone. Then I found out about North Minneapolis; I'd once worked in that neighborhood as a counselor at a group home located in the area that got hit. I never could find out whether or not that group home was damaged or not.
I grew up in North Minneapolis. I love this vid! But Don't ya just like how all the surrounding cities were warned by the NWS EXCEPT the one part of the city it hit the worst?..North MPLS!!!!!

You filmed ground circulation starting at 4:22! Amazing video.
i was a school bus aid at the time,and we picked up kids in north minneapolis, and saw all the carnage afterward.
I survived this when I was four and I wanted some flashbacks. It was the scariest day of my life!!!!!!
Scary situation for anyone driving in the twin cities that day.
We drove under that in saint Louis park

Oh, yeah. Forgot. Other tornadoes did occur on 5/22/11, besides THE one....
I wonder if this tornado produced just rain.
It cut a swath all through N Mpls. Although trees are growing back, you can still see the path on google maps.
