I added a few tidbits of information I found interesting and made a few minor edits to incorrect information. I added information about several other tornadoes I found that had occurred on the same day as the tornado that hit Tracy, MN as well as a description of the photo taken by Eric Lantz. My source said that there were in fact only 125 injuries not 150 as it had stated before, so i fixed that as well. Maggieelize (talk) 22:13, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spawned by same storm system from June 11?

According to http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com there were nine tornadoes on June 11, 1968 including and F2 in Enterprise, Oregon. I wonder if the Tracy tornado was spawned by the same storm system.--Kevjgav (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
