Ferocious tornado touchdowns strike a dozen communities eastward from Nobles to Wabasha Counties in south-central Minnesota, causing at least one death and numerous injuries, damaging Comfrey and St. Peter, and carrying debris many miles away. Extensive damage in Comfrey forces residents to evacuate from their homes, while the devastation in St. Peter prompts an eyewitness to remark that the city looks "decapitated" and a man in far-off Dakota County catches a falling page from a Le Center school-library book.
