Twister Sisters

Richard Sennott

The Star Tribune

Melanie Metz Trockman and Peggyy Willenberg have dinner sitting accross from Cindy Togstad. This dinner was with family and friends who survived an f4 tornado one year earlier. The Twister Sisters became friends with the Togstads after they helped their sons out of the basement after the tornado destroyed their century old farmhouse. This dinner was the night before the 1 year later anniversary celebration of the survivors of the tornado that was one of the largest ever reported. The tornado was 2 1/2 miles wide at times and tracked on the ground for 52 miles.
