May 8, 2036

Multiple EF-5s

Minneapolis, Sioux Falls

At about 335am CDT on the morning of May 8th, 2036, a tornado struck Apple Valley and proceeded to wipe the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport off the map. The tornado lasted only 17 minutes and was only 160 feet wide. Damage estimates were around 15-billion USDs. About 2-thousand people were killed.

The Second tornado touched the ground southwest of Sioux Falls at approximately 614am PDT, and then dissected the city at peak intensity. As a high-end EF-5, and nearly two miles wide, the tornado actually appeared to sit still directly over downtown, acting like a blender that destroyed everything within a mile of it, and dismantled several freeway overpasses. Damage estimates suggested around 85-billion USDs and more than 4½-thousand people were killed.

The Third and final tornado struck at 840amCDT in Savage, Minnesota, and grew to be 3.2 miles wide in a matter of 5 seconds, causing a powerful shockwave that blasted all loose objects within 4 miles of it, 18 miles away. The tornado tracked over numerous freeways at top strength as the citizens of the Twin City metropolitan area fled in mass panic to try to outrun the threat. Once again, the MSP International Airport took a direct hit, and pieces of cured concrete weighing over 80 tons were torn from the runways. Any freeways that had cars on them when the tornado hit were utterly reduced to literally nothing, as if no freeway had ever been there before.

The tornado, a 3-mile-wide blender full of wood, glass, metal, and concrete, directly blasted Downtown Saint Paul while travelling at nearly 85 miles per hour. There was no hope for anybody in its path, whether they had adequate shelter or not.

The reign of terror ultimately ended in the deaths of 118-thousand-788 people. Sixteen cities were unrecognizable. Analyses of the destruction to the Twin Cities took eight months to complete.

The first tornado at MSP was the deadliest ever seen until the one that hit Sioux Falls overtook it, and then the 2nd Minneapolis tornado became the strongest, costliest, deadliest, fastest, widest, and longest-lasting tornado on Earth.
