[3] According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), "two violent twisters" caused catastrophic damage in the areas around town of Chandler and city of Lake Wilson in Murray County, Minnesota.

[2] At approximately 5:18 pm, the tornado, which had intensified even further, struck Chandler, where it caused extreme damage, leaving half of the town leveled.

[1] In total, the tornado killed one person, injured over 40 others, and caused at least $50 million (1992 USD) in damage along its 35 miles (56 km) track.

[5][7] In 2019, meteorologist Jen Narramore, who previously worked for The Weather Channel, found several discrepancies with the official publications and records from NOAA, with the National Climatic Data Center and Storm Prediction Center stating the tornado's path length was only 16 miles (26 km), while the local National Weather Service office states the official path length was 35 miles (56 km).

[8] In Narramore's assessment, it was stated the path length was most likely to be approximately 16 miles (26 km), but slightly different than what was listed by the Storm Prediction Center.
