Did you or someone you know experience the Waseca Black Sunday twisters of 1967?
The National Weather Service in St. Paul is interested in having people who witnessed the Black Sunday twisters of 1967 in Waseca add their personal experiences to the story they are compiling. The information is being collected for a web page chronicling the events of the day and its aftermath.
The question the weather service is posing is: Did you, or someone you know, experience the Black Sunday tornadoes of April 30, 1967?
Karen Trammell, a forecaster at the weather service’s Chanhassen office, and co-worker Tony Zaleski are compiling information on the tornadoes, and they are looking for stories and photographs from Waseca residents who recall the tornado outbreak.
Stories and electronic copies of photographs may be sent via email to Karen Trammell. Hard copies can be sent to the National Weather Service, 1733 Lake Drive West, Chanhassen, MN 55317. Weather service staff will also consider making a trip to review your material in person.
