Tornado Destruction in Hugo, Minnesota
5/25/2008

Over Memorial Day Weekend 2008, severe weather and tornadoes wreaked havoc across the Midwest and Southern/Central Plains, damaging hundreds of homes, injuring dozens, and killing at least 10 people.

Thanks to the forecasters, meteorologists, and volunteers at the National Weather Service, the public had advanced warning and many lives were saved.

We can't stop severe weather, but we can reach out to our communities after the storm.

Please join us in helping the communities of Hugo, Coon Rapids & Blaine, Minnesota, Parkersburg, Iowa, Pratt, Kansas, Lacey & Douglas, Oklahoma, Windsor, Colorado and others by making a donation to the Salvation Army to help with the relief effort.

SWIFT Weather will match all donations up to $1,000.
