The tornado started in the area of Jackson Ave near Interstate 94.  It
moved southeast across the interstate and then over Veterans Memorial
Park where it produced EF-1 damage. This damage included numerous
uprooted and snapped trees, along with snapped stadium light poles.
The greatest concentration of EF-1 damage occurred from Jackson Ave though
Veterans Memorial Park and into the nearby neighborhoods. The tornado
continued through residential areas where there were numerous trees snapped
