UPDATED (Thurs): Bemidji Tornado
*Update: Beltrami County Emergency Management confirms it was an EF1 tornado with winds of 90-100 MPH that struck across the central part of the city of Bemidji along 18th Street NW from Delton Ave NW to Bemidji Ave N and was approximately 200 yards wide.
Reporter Shirelle Moore will have an update on Thursday.
One resident reported it “sounded like train”.
At least one garage was lifted from its foundation and twisted. Roofing material and shingles were pulled off roofs and thrown about. Several trampolines were blown across yards and one was even lodged and entangled in a tree top. Trees were blown in several directions, which is inconsistent from the other straight-line wind events from the last couple of events.
A garage was lifted off its foundation as a result of the storm, along with many trees uprooted in the neighborhood.
