One tornado, with a wind speed near 75 mph, "tracked from southwest of I-94 and Highway 10 & Highway 61," according to the NWS.

The tornado moved near Harding High School on St. Paul's east side, and ended its journey near Goodrich Golf Course in Maplewood. The tornado's path was more than three miles in length.

Officials also say four EF0 tornadoes -- with max wind speeds between 75-85 mph -- moved through Dakota County Saturday evening.

The first one was in Burnsville, which snapped several trees "from the south side of Crystal Lake to near Crystal Beach."

The second moved through Apple Valley, uprooting "several large trees...near Cedar and 127th Street." Falling trees also caused some structure damage.

The third tornado struck an area in Eagan near Duckwood Drive and Lexington Avenue.

And the fourth confirmed tornado snapped and uprooted several large trees from Thompson Avenue "to the west side of Highway 52."

There were no reported injuries from any of these tornadoes.
