The tornado that struck Wadena in 2010 was rated EF4, with peak winds estimated at 170 mph. It made its initial touchdown about 3 miles south-southwest of Wadena and produced a continuous damage path through Wadena before lifting about 7 miles northeast of town. The Wadena/Deer Creek School was severely damaged, and several homes and industrial structures were completely destroyed. School buses and other vehicles were propelled through the air up to a few hundred feet.
