I found a newspaper article that stated NWS meteorologists found no tornado in the damage that encompassed this entire region. A “consulting meteorologist” said that there was at least one tornado he thought was based on damage in the Champlin area. That is in Hennepin County. Officially no tornado confirmed for that area, just wind damage.
In the midst of the wind damage, the NWS survey team at some point determined tornado damage in Anoka County in the Andover area. They went F4 with the rating, the path length only 1 mile. The width extremely small at 67 yards. They stated numerous homes received major damage, with some homes only having the foundation left.
Could there have been other tornadoes in this area amidst the wind damage? Possibly we will never know.
