MPR’s Cara Hetland reports that the tornadoes in Comfrey and St. Peter has brought memories back for the residents of Chandler in southwest Minnesota. A tornado in 1992 wiped out nearly all of the town. They have rebuilt their town and gone one with their lives but the memories and emotions are still strong.

No one in this small 300-resident community will ever forget June 16, 1992. Severe weather warnings were issued for 12 straight hours that day from central South Dakota into Wisconsin. The Chandler tornado struck shortly after five and another one touched down nearby at nine that night.
