Episode Narrative Thunderstorms developed Saturday afternoon across central Minnesota and moved east-southeast across portions of central and east-central Minnesota and produced significant wind damage around Milaca, Dalbo and Foreston, Minnesota. Two EF-0 tornadoes occurred, one near Long Prairie and another near Dalbo.
Event Narrative A storm chaser filmed a funnel cloud that looked like it may have been on the ground, though trees shrouded the view. A subsequent NWS damage survey did indeed find nearly two dozen trees that were downed in a convergent pattern from the storm. No structures were hit.
