The National Weather Service says a storm chaser reported a brief tornado touchdown near Hawick in Kandiyohi County about 6 p.m. Thursday.
Another tornado touched down earlier near Norway Lake, also in Kandiyohi County. The sheriff's office reports no damage.
In southwestern Minnesota, the weather service says high winds damaged silos and barns.
