Storm chasers were on the case Thursday when tornadoes ravaged Minnesota. Their videos show scary twisters in action.

Wadena

Description: What a day as we chased in north-central MN and observed 4 large tornadoes, 3 of them being wedges. Unfortunately, one of these massive tornadoes went through the town of Wadena as we were observing just east of town. Major damage resulted from this tornado but, fortunately, no deaths. Certainly this is a day that I will never forget, growing up and living all of my life in MN and never seeing such a large tornadic event in this state until now.

Wadena

Description: Storm chaser Dominator at TornadoVideos.net intercepts violent wedge tornado southwest of Wadena, Minnesota, measuring incredible vertical winds with the radar, and launching parachute probes into the tornado with the cannon. We deployed in the strongest eastern side of the wedge, and the 150+ mph winds ripped off the room anemometer, sand-blasted the paint, and caused us to slide across the road with the hydraulics deployed.
