EF1 tornado in Freeborn County, Minnesota

This tornado's track and timing are based on drone and ground survey from the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office. The tornado appears to have started in a field just south of 160th Street, then damaged several trees and buildings on the corner of 160th Street and 650th Avenue. The tornado then continued to travel northeast, damaging additional trees and buildings before dissipating in a field just south of 170th Street. The maximum wind speed was estimated at 105 mph.

A line of storms developed along a cold front Sunday afternoon, stretching from South Dakota all the way down through central Kansas. As the storms progressed eastward through the evening, they moved into a favorable environment for tornado and severe wind development. Several tornadoes were observed across northeast Iowa, southeast South Dakota, and extreme southern Minnesota. There were two tornadoes in Freeborn County and one tornado in Martin County.

In addition to the tornadoes, there were reports of wind damage across southern MN. Minor structural damage and scattered tree damage suggest wind speeds around 60 to 75 mph were likely tied to the thunderstorms.
