| March 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Eagle Bend | $2,000 | Severe thunderstorm winds caused damage to a barn, and a few trees to snap off near Eagle Bend, Minnesota. |
| May 2022 | Tornado (EF1) | Eagle Bend | - | This tornado tore through the eastern side of Eagle Bend. It knocked down or snapped many trees, partially removed roofs from several houses, peeled tin off the roof of multiple sheds and buildings, and took the top off three massive and filled grain bins in Eagle Bend. Multiple farmsteads were hit, destroying barns, machine sheds, and other outbuildings. It ended about 5 miles west-southwest of Staples where the scattered tree damage pattern could no longer be determined to be of tornadic origin. Determination of the specific path was assisted by Todd County Emergency Management, which provided drone imagery to the NWS. Maximum winds were estimated to be 100 mph. |
