Thanks for the sad news.  I did some searching and found this story. 
Looks like it hit late on Monday 7/12 (11:30pm-1:30 am).  I enjoyed my
visit to the show last fall.

This story has a few pictures.

Subject: [Steam-engine] Bad news from Rollag

Last night I received the following message from my brother.  He got the
information from his daughter who lives in Moorhead, Minnesota.

"Bad news at Rollag.  Tornado went thru last Friday, tens of thousands of
dollars in damage. The huge shed housing the threshing machines had been
hurt in a previous storm. Demolished in this one and moved many feet. 
Some of the machines destroyed, I think maybe the oldest, wooden ones.
"Others badly damaged.  Other buildings also damaged. I assume that trees
were hurt too.  Plans are to have the Reunion as scheduled, if volunteers
turn out in sufficient numbers to do all the work."
