Howdy fellas. I’m back. It got spicy here. We are ok. Our place and stuff is OK. After it blew over I went to check on some neighbors in the path - all was good so I headed to the fire station. Apparently the paging system went down and the chief was notified for us to be sent to a nearby town and help assess damage. The tornado took out quite a few buildings. Lots of trees on/in houses and across driveways and roads. Even a couple fires from downed power lines and also lightning strikes. I ended up cutting trees off a driveway where 70% of the trees on the 5 acre farm yard were either uprooted or snapped off. I was just down the road from a flattened barn. Here’s some before and after pics of the barn:

Most of the damage is in and around Rollingstone, MN. But barns and outbuildings went down from Altura to the Mississippi River here in Winona County.
