Midwest States Conduct Statewide Tornado Drills for Severe Weather Preparedness
Outdoor warning sirens will be tested twice in Minnesota as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, with a fake tornado warning issued on social media at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. The drill aims to encourage people to practice readiness plans and prepare for potential severe weather situations, despite the rarity of tornadoes and severe storms in recent years in the area.
