While I was researching New Richmond today, I came across a few reports of another tornado I haven't seen documented anywhere. Only problem is I can't pin down what day it actually happened because all of the reports mention either "yesterday" or "earlier this week" or whatever, but they're published on different days so there's no way to tell which specific day they're referencing. My guess would be either 6/11 (Salix F4) or 6/12 (New Richmond) but I don't know for sure yet.
Anywho, it struck north of Rock Rapids, up in the northwest corner of Iowa. Apparently it swept away at least two or three homes (granted, likely not well-built), threw a cow a quarter-mile to its death and - in the words of a few different reports - "scooped up earth in several places" in IA and just across the border in Rock County, MN. The funnel was also widely visible throughout the area, so there's no doubt it was a legit tornado.. whenever it happened.
