Episode Narrative The combination of upper and lower jet support led to some nocturnal thunderstorms across southeast North Dakota and west central Minnesota.
Event Narrative This tornado touched down in a farmstead shelterbelt just east of Lake Breckenridge and tracked near a second residence during its roughly one mile path. Some large trees were knocked down, a number of large branches were broken down and a few shingles were lifted off the house. A two cubic yard metal dumpster was lifted and thrown about 100 feet into a nearby ditch. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph.
