EF0 tornado in Fillmore County, Minnesota

A tornado that developed just south of the Minnesota state line moved into Fillmore County south of York and then moved north-northeast before dissipating near Greenleafton. A small barn and machine shed was destroyed and another sustained roof damage from the tornado. Another two farms also sustained some minor damage to buildings and a few homes sustained minor wind and tree damage.

As an area of low pressure moved across the Upper Midwest, thunderstorms developed during the afternoon of Memorial Day (May 27th) across portions of southeast Minnesota. These storms quickly became severe and produced four tornadoes across Fillmore County. The first tornado moved into the southern part of the county from Iowa and damaged some farm buildings and trees along its path as it moved toward Greenleafton. The other three tornadoes were just brief touchdowns over the western portions of the county south and east of Spring Valley.
