Maple Plain Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A 30 yard wide tornado touched down in Independence near the intersection of county roads 11 and 90, then crossed Lake Sarah. Around the lake numerous boats and docks were damaged. On the southern edge of the lake a home sustained structural damage and an attached garage was destroyed along Woodhill Lane. Several 2 to 3 foot diameter trees and power lines were downed nearby. On the northern edge of the lake a small airplane hangar was blown away and hundreds of 1 to 2 foot diameter trees were knocked down along Lake Sarah Heights Drive and Sunset Lane. A tractor trailer was blown over on its side in the same neighborhood. Next the tornado moved northeast into extreme southeast Greenfield where it damaged ten homes in the Country Circle area just north of Highway 55. Two homes suffered significant damage including one home that had damage to exterior walls on the second story and another home that lost an attached garage. One man inside a damaged home was cut on the nose by flying glass. Finally the tornado moved into southwest Corcoran where it destroyed a barn near the intersection of County Road 19 and Pioneer Trail. On the same property a three-season porch, chimney, heated 4-stall garage, fences, and two ice fishing houses were also lost. The tornado lifted nearby after being on the ground for 3 miles.
