22:16Z EF0 KMBX ND Towner Rocklake The funnel which preceded this tornado was viewed by multiple storm spotters. Photographs and reports show that this tornado tracked mainly over open rangeland. Peak winds were estimated at 70 mph.
22:35Z EF1 KDVN IA Iowa Williamsburg Tornado was rated an EF-1 with peak winds of 105 mph, a path length of 4.58 miles, with a max width of 60 yards. The tornado produced damage to mainly trees and crops with two houses also sustaining damage to windows.
22:39Z EF1 KMVX ND Walsh Veseleyville A partially rain wrapped tornado ripped down large branches and snapped a few trees in shelterbelts. It also damaged the trim on a farmstead house. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph.
22:45Z EF0 KPBZ PA Clarion Huey The National Weather Service survey team confirmed a tornado near Rimersburg in Toby Township in Clarion County in Western Pennsylvania on July 11, 2017. A damage path a found extending from Zanot Road east-southeastward to the intersection of Cherry Run Road and Rimer Road to Fink Road in Toby Township, roughly 4 miles northwest of Rimersburg. Observed damage was exclusively to trees, with many examples of broken large limbs, trunk snaps, and uproots of both healthy and unhealthy trees. The most significant damage occurred during the early part of the track along Zanot Road to its intersection with Cherry Run Road. It was here that the greatest concentration of tree damage was found, with several healthy trees snapped and uprooted. A convergent damage path was noted, as opposed to a uniform or spreading direction, which suggested tornadic activity. Further down the track, tree damage was less significant and limited to smaller trees. While tree damage was significant, especially in the first portion of the track, the overall lack of damage to structures plus the antecedent wet soils allows the wind speed to be capped at 75 MPH. Thus, the tornado has been rated an EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
22:48Z EF0 KMVX ND Cavalier Clyde A brief tornado touchdown was noted by an observer near the corner of the intersection of county roads 5 and 20. The tornado tracked through open country. Peak winds were estimated at 70 mph.

The tornado crossed Interstate 29 just south of exit 157. The tornado broke down large tree branches at multiple shelterbelts and groves along its path. Peak winds were estimated at 75 mph.
23:58Z EF2 KMVX ND Traill Hatton Arpt This multi-vortex tornado was wrapped in rain and hail for much of its path. It crossed Interstate 29 just north of the Taft elevators, then dove south-southeast to a point roughly 2.5 east-northeast of Hillsboro, where it curled to the northeast. The tornado snapped trees and destroyed several farm buildings along its path. Peak winds were estimated at 135 mph.
00:07Z EF1 KMVX MN Polk Northland This tornado tracked intermittently across northern Northland and Tabor townships. The tornado snapped or uprooted a few spruce trees and broke down numerous large branches in shelterbelts along its path. At one farmstead east of Tabor, it tore steel panels off a shed roof and snapped large tree limbs. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph.
00:48Z EF2 KMVX ND Traill Hillsboro Arpt This tornado developed from the main mesocyclone as its predecessor roped out. It crossed the Red River and continued for another 5 miles in Minnesota, before ending around four miles east-southeast of Halstad at 711 pm CST.

01:42Z EF2 KMVX MN Norman Wheatville This tornado collapsed at least one shed, snapped numerous trees, and tossed large round hay bales across a sugar beet field. It also snapped at least a half dozen wooden power poles. Peak winds were estimated at 125 mph. The tornado continued into Clay County, where it ended two miles north of Ulen, at 806 pm CST.
01:54Z EF2 KMVX MN Clay Ulen This tornado began at 742 pm CST, 3 miles north of Borup, in Norman County.

07:20Z EF0 KMPX MN Anoka East Bethel The tornado touched down in East Bethel, along 225th Ave NE and just east of Highway 65. It moved southeast, crossing the northern part of Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, and exited the county in the northeast corner of Columbus. Numerous trees were downed, with some hitting houses, sheds and vehicles. The wind also took some siding off a house and dented a garage door.

07:27Z EF1 KMPX MN Anoka Columbus The tornado touched down in the southern part of Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, not quite one mile east-southeast of the intersection of Lexington Ave and Constance Blvd. It downed hundreds of trees, some falling on homes, sheds and vehicles. The tornado destroyed the attached garage of one home, shingles were partially removed from two houses, and a large garage had one of its doors dented in, thereby allowing wind inside the structure, resulting in the bowing out of an opposing wall. The tornado exited Anoka County just to the northeast of the junction of Interstates 35E and 35W in Columbus.
07:32Z EF0 KMPX MN Chisago Wyoming After exiting Anoka County, the tornado clipped the southwest part of Chisago County, downing over 100 trees. The tornado did take some tin off the roof of a shed. It dissipated just before reaching Washington County, where the collapsing storm produced widespread downburst damage in and around Forest Lake.
