Episode Narrative A complex of thunderstorms developed across west-central Minnesota during the afternoon of July 27th and quickly moved eastward into east-central Minnesota, and west-central Wisconsin during the evening hours, and caused three tornadoes in west central Wisconsin. There also were several areas of straight-line wind damage.
Event Narrative A tornado traveled east-southeast, just north of the village of Turtle Lake. It touched down in extreme eastern Polk County and moved into Barron County. In Polk County, a large outbuilding was completely destroyed 1.5 miles north-northwest of Turtle Lake, with debris scattered downstream for hundreds of yards. Scattered large trees were snapped or uprooted.
