It stayed on the ground for 5.68 miles and was up to 200 yards wide. The tornado moved into Blue Earth County from Watonwan County. But some storm chaser video showed it to be entirely from the same parent circulation, hence one tornado. The tornado hit several farms. The maximum wind speed was estimated at 90 mph.
Strongest thunderstorm gust
100 mph · June 16, 2014
A storm survey concluded that severe straight-line winds caused damage to half of a metal building system north of Minnesota Lake. The building's metal wall and roof panels were peeled off with most of the northern half of the building collapsed.

Roofing in Mankato: local conditions
Mankato in south-central Minnesota endures one of the most punishing roofing climates in the US. The record low of -35 F in February and January mean of 14.7 F guarantee severe freeze-thaw stress on every roof penetration, flashing joint, and shingle edge across months of winter. Average annual snowfall of 38.7 inches translates to repeated snow load cycles and ice dam formation as attic heat escapes through under-insulated decks. An August 17, 1946 tornado struck southwestern Mankato, killing 11 people, and an F3 tornado hit nearby St. Peter on March 29, 1998, demonstrating the region's tornado exposure alongside its blizzard risk. The record high of 107 F in August adds UV and thermal-expansion stress that compounds granule loss already accelerated by freeze cycling.
Mankato had a 2020 census population of 44,488, estimated at 45,742 by 2023, anchoring a metro area of 104,248. The employment base centers on public institutions: Mankato Area Public Schools (2,123 employees), Mayo Clinic Health System (1,300), and Minnesota State University (1,300). This stable, education-and-healthcare-driven economy sustains steady homeownership rates and drives demand for both storm-damage replacement roofing and planned re-roofing of the aging housing stock common in Minnesota college towns.
