Event narrative (NOAA)
Sub-severe thunderstorm winds in combination with saturated soils, caused a large tree to be blown over at Wakonda State Park in the area where RVs are allowed to stay. The tree fell onto an RV, crushing the front section of it. Five people were trapped in the vehicle. One occupant was crushed by the fallen tree and died from his injuries. No one else in the vehicle sustained any injuries.
