| Episode Narrative | The morning of Wednesday July 14th had a complex of severe thunderstorms moving across eastern North Dakota, into portions of west-central and central Minnesota. Embedded bow echoes caused considerable damage across northern Douglas County before 8 am. This complex moved eastward during the morning, and intensified across portions of east-central Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin. Several waves of thunderstorms developed across west-central Wisconsin and began to reform westward into Minnesota by the early afternoon. Several supercells developed across the southern Twin Cities metro area and became tornadic near Northfield, Minnesota. These storms quickly moved into west-central Wisconsin where more tornadoes developed. |
| Event Narrative | A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team determined an EF-0 Tornado occurred with a broken path length of approximately 3.5 miles. The tornado first touched down approximately three-quarters of a mile north of Interstate 35 and Highway 19 where a two ton truck was overturned on interstate 35. The tornado then lifted and touched down near the intersection of Jamaica Ave, and 320th Street where it tore down a street sign. The tornado then tracked east-northeast for approximately 2.5 miles across mainly farm fields before lifted near the intersection of Guam Ave, and County Road 90. The tornado caused minor damage to crops, along with several trees to be uprooted along its path. In addition, a small farm shed was damaged northeast of Jamaica Ave, and 320th Street. |
