The path drawn at its surveyed width of 25 yards (0.01 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

The tornado mostly crossed fields, but did hit a couple stands of trees, breaking large branches. The maximum estimated wind speed was 70 mph.

The wider storm

Scattered storms developed near the South Dakota and Minnesota border during the early evening on June 28th, then quickly strengthened into discrete supercells as they progressed into west central Minnesota. These storms produced scattered reports of large hail, thunderstorm wind damage, and three tornadoes.

As the evening progressed, the supercells merged into clusters and eventually into long line that produced more widespread wind damage and five tornadoes in Carver County. The storms gradually weakened after moving into Wisconsin and south central Minnesota.

Began near Bongards (44.8046, -93.8349).
