Mount Olympus (/oÊËlÉªmpÉs, É-/; Greek: ÏÎ»ÏÎ¼ÏÎ¿Ï; also transliterated as Olympos, and on Greek maps, Oros Olympos) is the highest mountain in Greece. It is located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, between the regional units of Pieria and Larissa, about 80 km (50 mi) southwest from Thessaloniki.
The National Weather Service says it received a report of a tornado just north of downtown, and Minneapolis Fire Department personnel reported a tornado in south Minneapolis, near Interstate 35W and Lake Street.
One to 2 inches of rain fell in the area, but it was the high winds that did most of the damage, according to the National Weather Service in Duluth. There was no tornado, but the stormâs straight-line winds reached weak tornado levels, said Carol Christenson, Duluth NWS warning coordination meteorologist.
