Oregon Tornado Damages Buildings

[chuck white]

A rare tornado touched down Thursday afternoon in the city of McMinnville, Ore. (2010 population of 32,187), about 35 miles southwest of Portland.

Nobody was hurt, but three commercial buildings, all of them used for storage, were damaged, McMinnville Fire Chief Rich Leipfert said. The porch roof on one nearby home also sustained minor damage, Leipfert said. No one was injured during the storm, Leipfert said.

I saw this story, but some of the comments were saying an "EF1" tornado doesn't even qualify as a tornado where they really have tornadoes.
