Yet another round of severe weather developed on June 17 across the upper Midwest and central Great Plains.
The community of Austin, Minnesota was especially hard hit by a large tornado.
Between 15 to 20 homes were damaged and baseball fields were ruined across the city.
About 600 trees were ripped down in city parks.
It tracked over US 218, flipping numerous cars off the road.
One shed was rolled several times by the tornado, injuring a man inside.
The National Weather Service survey indicated that the tornado briefly reached EF2 intensity.
The tornado was estimated to have touched down around 8:00 pm CDT and lifted around 8:23 pm CDT after tracking for 10 miles (16 km).
The maximum width of the tornado was roughly 120 yards (110 m).

A separate round of tornadoes in Nebraska was also significant.
A tornado emergency was later declared for Aurora, Nebraska as a large tornado was approaching town.
The tornado downed power lines, nearly destroyed a dog food factory as it passed very close to the structure, and damaged several homes before dissipating.
