Paul Huttner remembers living through the worst tornado outbreak in Minnesota history

Paul Huttner remembers living through the worst tornado outbreak in Minnesota history

The May 6, 1965, tornado outbreak was a rare Oklahoma-style weather event in Minnesota. Four of the six violent twisters were rated F4 on the Fujita scale with estimated winds at more than 200 mph. The devastating twisters killed 13 people and injured at least 500 more. MPR News Chief Meteorologist Paul Huttner was a preschooler at the time, but he remembers the day vividly.
