The NWS says it hasn’t determined if the damage around Crow Wing and Aitkin counties was part of the same tornado or several small tornadoes. Survey crews have yet to assign an EF rating to the bursts.
A weak tornado with an EF-0 damage rating was also confirmed across a 5-mile path in Wright, Minnesota, in northwestern Carlton County.
