As Justin mentioned they have now confirmed three tornadoes in Ashland and Iron counties.  The two in Ashland are the Morse tornado and Eastern Ashland county tornado.  The last one occurred in Iron county at the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.  Respectively they have classified them as a EF 1, Ef 0 and an EF 1.  This is just preliminary and could change but the released this information at just after 2 pm today, July 30th.

Brian and Justin have done a great job at recapping the event.  Having missed the July 14thoutbreak this was probably the most significant event that I have been apart of.  It really hit home for me when they released that some campers had been in tents when the tornado went through and one seriously injured.  It just shows how dangerous Mother Nature can be even in an area that rarely sees tornadoes.  In fact the Iron County tornado was the first tornado in the county since July of 1970! So 40 years has went by with not a single tornado. 

For more information you can read through the Duluth summary, they will update as they acquire more information.

Yesterday I had the privilege of going to EAA- one of my favorite events to attend.  I will be blogging and sharing some of my video from the event tomorrow!
