| Episode Narrative | A well-defined cold front associated with a strong upper-level low produced widespread wind damage and a few tornadoes throughout central and eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin on August 29th, 2024. Four tornadoes occurred. There were also a number of downbursts, with some of the most significant downburst damage in Champlin, Anoka, and Cottage Grove. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado hit several farms before moving into Lastrup and dissipating. It ripped most of the roof off of two barns west and northwest of Pierz, then continued northeast to Lastrup, where it knocked down or broke large limbs of dozens of trees and tore off half of the roof of an outbuilding. Drone video from the Sheriff's Office showed a convergent damage pattern in Lastrup, and the damage survey showed a convergent pattern at several locations before the tornado hit Lastrup. |
