Tornado count now 10 from last week's storms in southern Minnesota

Minnesota storms

The National Weather Service continues to survey damage from last week's severe storms in southern Minnesota.

As of Saturday night crews had confirmed 10 tornadoes touched down last Thursday, though that total may be revised as more information comes in. The Weather Service said additional tornadoes may be added to the list, and separate tornadoes on the list may be combined into single, longer tracks.

The strongest of the tornadoes surveyed so far appears to be the one that caused major damage to homes in Morristown, in Rice County. That tornado rated an EF2 on the 1-5 Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning winds of up to 135 mph.
