Lino Lakes and Hugo Tornado, May 25th 2008

Our hearts and prayers are with the families and friends of those killed and injured in the tornado today. The Star Tribune Article reports: one child dead, eight people seriously injured, and at least 50 homes destroyed. The tornado is believed to have been a F3 or possibly even a F4.

F0 = Gale tornado = 40-72 mph
Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards.


F1 = Moderate tornado = 73-112 mph
The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.


F2 = Significant tornado = 113-157 mph
Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated.


F3 = Severe tornado = 158-206 mph
Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in fores uprooted


F4 = Devastating tornado = 207-260 mph
Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated.


F5 = Incredible tornado = 261-318 mph
Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel re-inforced concrete structures badly damaged.


F6 = Inconceivable tornado = 319-379 mph
These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies

History of the Blue Heron Days Festival: 1st held in 2004, the name was chosen for Lino Lakes' greatest asset, the 2nd largest Blue Heron rookery in the state. It is no surprise that the Blue Heron is the city logo as it symbolizes our community's natural beauty and amenities. Each year our festival brings families out to enjoy new and different activies and events.
