1894 Tornado Hit Cold Spring
March 22, 2007

Herbie Theis, the oral historian of Cold Sring, MN, passed away on February 19, 2007. His stories will live on thanks to the videos of Duane Kuss from DigElog ROCORI - you can find many of them here.

In this story, Herb talks about the tornado that hit Cold Spring on June 27, 1894. His great grandmother was standing, holding the front door shut as the tornado wiped out the barn not more than 200 feet just to the south of the house.
