Info Info A large and very slow-moving wedge tornado (rated mid-grade EF4) remained on the ground for just over an hour as it executed a cyclonic loop in Ottawa County south of the town of Minneapolis and west of Bennington. It initially touched down several miles west of Bennington on May 28 at 5:39 p.m. CDT (2239 UTC). Upon formation, it snapped power poles and moved southeast before turning north as it approached U.S. Route 81. As the tornado reached the northern end of the track (its strongest point), it destroyed numerous outbuildings, downed trees and power poles, damaged farm equipment, and tipped over a large semi-like truck (while also moving the truck several feet). About 100 cattle were killed in this area as well. The tornado then moved to the southwest and destroyed the roof of a well constructed shed (while throwing the heavy metal shed door into a field), blew a trailer 40 yards (37 m), snapped many more power poles, and downed numerous trees. A home that was under construction lost all four exterior walls and a fifth-wheel camper was blown 200 yards (180 m). A second home suffered minor shingle damage and impact dents in the siding from flying debris, a few more sheds/outbuildings were either damaged or destroyed, and a third home had siding and chimney damage (mostly from debris impact) and was slightly moved off of the foundation. The tornado lifted around 6:45 p.m. CDT (2345 UTC), just to the south-southwest of where it touched down. Intensity was based off of mobile Doppler radar surface wind measurements in excess of 166 mph (267 km/h) as the damage was rated as mid-grade EF3. Higher winds were measured 300 ft (91 m) above the surface; however, based on damage indicators and the surface wind measurements, the highest winds that translated to the ground were around 180 mph (290 km/h). Some damage was observed from areas that were not directly in the path of the tornado, suggesting a very large wind field. Data from Doppler on Wheels indicated a far larger and stronger tornado. Gusts were measured far into the EF5 intensity range (which is open ended), with a peak value of 247 mph (398 km/h). These winds were among the highest ever measured/estimated on record, comparable the the highest non-tornadic gust of 253 mph (407 km/h) measured during Cyclone Olivia in 1996.[10] Winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) were also measured over an area approximately 0.5 mi (0.80 km) wide while 100 mph (160 km/h) winds covered an area 1.5 mi (2.4 km) in diameter. Due to the tornados slow motion, several areas in its path were likely exposed to winds well in excess of 100 mph (160 km/h) for at least 45 minutes.
