Severe Thunderstorms of June 17, 2010

Supercell thunderstorms developed across southern Minnesota
during the afternoon of Thursday June 17th producing tornadoes
and large hail initially. These storms then developed a line of
damaging wind gusts that moved through parts of Rochester, MN
and eventually grew to produce strong to severe winds across much
of southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and into western Wisconsin
into the evening hours.

Tornado damage surveys in Dodge County, MN continue,
but an EF1 tornado was determined in northwest Rochester, MN
which occurred shortly after 900 p.m. CDT.
