It left 27 dead, injured 300 and caused $332 million in damages.
This is the story of Black Friday.

June 23rd, 2007:

A massive and likely violent F3 struck rural areas near Pipestone, Manitoba.

This enormous wedge reached a peak width of around 1.18 miles wide during its 60 km trek.

This tornado was part of the multi-day sequence that also spawned the Elie F5.
