Four small tornadoes were confirmed in Carver County, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis, early June 29.

The tornadoes occurred between 12:15 a.m. and 12:45 a.m. and had wind speeds of 80 to 90 mph.

Only one structure was damaged; most of the impact was limited to downed trees.

The storms followed a heat wave that broke temperature records across the Midwest and Eastern U.S.

Severe thunderstorms were expected across southern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota on June 28.

The tornadoes were short-lived and weak, with no major injuries or widespread destruction reported.

Additional thunderstorms were possible Sunday but may move into Wisconsin due to a weak front.

Residents are urged to use multiple methods for receiving tornado warnings, especially at night.

Tornado sirens were activated, but officials recommend also using Smart911 and weather alert apps.

The event serves as a reminder to stay prepared for severe weather, even during overnight hours.
