EF0 tornado in Carver County, Minnesota

This tornado broke or uprooted dozens of trees. It hit one farm, damaging several outbuildings. Roof panels were removed, the door was blown off a large shed, and other damage was noted per drone imagery. The drone imagery also helped indicate the location of some of the tree damage. An old barn also collapsed. The start of the tornado was estimated based on a distant view from drone video. The maximum estimated wind speed was 85 mph.

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.
