This “cold-core tornado” was the longest-lasting and best-defined of several rapidly evolving funnels and brief/small tornadoes we saw on this day over eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota, see here from a farm clearing between forested belts. Fortunately, only damage to trees, sheds and grain bins was reported from this tornado. Not long afterward, we while cruising up US-75 (known as Central Expressway in Dallas), we saw a road sign: “Canada 90.” We knew we had traveled a long way from home. It was two firsts for me: “cold-core” and Minnesota tornado.
