Clean out your basement and ready your crank radio: The annual "tornadic risk assessment" is out and we're on it!
Both of the twin cities made the "Top Twenty Tornado-Prone Cities" list: Minneapolis came in 12th, and St. Paul eked in at 18. Which, apparently, means that in order for a twister to find its way from one city to the other, it would first have to wind through Cincinnati, South Bend, Wichita, Lincoln, and Houston.
Skeptical? Tell it to cursed Twin Cities architect Willard Thorson—designer of Har Mar Mall and Apache Plaza. Both shopping centers were hit by tornados in the '80s and that guy was habitually looking over his shoulder for years. The "Har Mar Tornado," as it has come to be known, caused $47 million in damage.
