Duration: 59 minutes (12:41AM-1:40AM CDT)
Deaths: 9
Injuries: 197
Damage: $25 million

90% of Barneveld was completely devastated.

93 homes completely destroyed.
64 homes damaged.
Out of 18 businesses and public facilities, 17 were destroyed.

If my memory serves me correctly, the tornado struck at around 1AM. Nocturnal tornadoes are almost always deadlier. Did Barneveld receive adequate warning for the tornado - i.e. were sirens sounded in ample lead time? Also, was any damage done by the tornado in any of the other towns such as Black Earth, WI? I remember seeing a radar image of the storm that spawned the tornado on a documentary on YouTube, I also read that the storm occurred near the end of a larger outbreak that also produced an F4 tornado that tracked 134 miles through northern Missouri and into Iowa.
