Besides possibly producing the spin up tornado in Humphrey, the strong winds associated with the thunderstorm that caused extensive damage in the Lindsay area, also caused damage in Humphrey. Besides tree damage, a newly erected grain bin was partially destroyed. An insurance agency in Humphrey reported at least 17 center pivots in the area were overturned, although this number may include some of those reported in the Lindsay area.
