What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm wind gusts were measured at the Minnesota Road Weather Information System site near Lake Benton, with a peak gust of 64 mph at 1928 CST.

The wider storm

A very moist and unstable atmosphere was present in the wake of earlier day convection, as another stronger mid-level wave and associated frontal boundary pushed through southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota during the evening and early overnight hours. Widespread convection along the boundary later in the evening led to areas of damaging wind and excessive rainfall in east central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.

Began near Lake Benton (44.2700, -96.3200).
