June 28 Storms
During the late afternoon of Saturday, June 28, several thunder
storms developed across the Dakotas and western Minnesota. These storms produced a few tornadoes, heavy rain, some wind damage, and power lines on the ground. Areas in far western Yellow Medicine and Lac Qui Parle counties had flooded and washed out roads.
As the storms approached central and eastern Minnesota, they formed into a line. This line of storms had several circulations along the leading edge, and produced several tornadoes.
The Swift County Sheriff's Office posted on social media that a tornado touched down five miles east of Holloway. The Jason Lowry farm was in the storm’s lane and received a significant amount of damage. See page 3 for radar photo of the storms.
