Damage from 1965 tornado
A car sits vertically nestled between trees in Farmstead, two miles from Waconia, in the aftermath of the most expensive tornadoes in Minnesota history on May 6, 1965. A family of tornadoes hit the western and northern Twin Cities, causing $50 million worth of damage, without inflation adjustment from that time. 13 people were killed and 683 people were injured.
