The EVENT: Tornado Legacy Day was held June 30, 2012 in downtown Regina. It was held to remember an event that had taken place 100 years earlier when two menacing twisters formed south of the city. At 4:45 p.m. the storm, spanning three blocks wide, hit Regina. The twister lasted only three minutes.
