A round of severe storms rolled through the High Plains on Tuesday afternoon and evening, leaving wind damage behind and spawning several reported tornadoes.

Multiple reported tornadoes were in progress in northeastern South Dakota on Tuesday afternoon, the first of which was spotted near the town of Webster just after 2:30 p.m. local time, the Associated Press reported via the Argus Leader. At about 3:30 p.m., a tornado was also reported south of Waubay. It’s unclear if they were separate tornadoes or the same twister, the report added.

There were no reports of damage from either incident, Day County Emergency Management told KELO-TV. Storms then pushed east into Minnesota and Iowa, where damage was created and some flooding was triggered. Several trees were brought down at a campground in Worthington, Minnesota, and winds gusted as high as 51 mph nearby, according to National Weather Service storm reports.

KSFY-TV viewers reported a tornado near Pipestone, Minnesota, but it’s unknown if that twister caused any damage.

Heavy rainfall plagued the Mankato area Tuesday afternoon, and social media users reported street flooding in some residential areas of the city.

In northern Iowa, a wind gust of 73 mph was reported near the town of Estherville. Multiple reports of wind damage also occurred nearby, with the majority being tree or power line damage, but there was some roof damage reported as well.

To the west of Estherville, tree damage was also reported in the town of Okoboji, along the Okoboji Lake.
