16:48Z EF0 KBIS ND Wells Harvey Arpt This tornado touched down in the open country. There were no impacts to structures and so no reports of damage.
18:09Z EF1 KMVX ND Eddy New Rockford The tornado broke down two power poles along the west side of highway 281 and severely damaged several trees in a shelterbelt east of highway 281. Peak winds were estimated at 105 mph.
18:42Z EF0 KMVX ND Foster Juanita This tornado touched down in the open country. There were no impacts to structures and so no reports of damage.
19:28Z EF0 KMVX ND Foster Glenfield This tornado touched down in the open country. There were no impacts to structures and so no reports of damage.
19:35Z EF0 KMVX ND Griggs Sutton This tornado tracked intermittently along the path and knocked down several trees in shelterbelts. Peak winds were estimated at 85 mph.
20:16Z EF0 KMVX ND Griggs Hannaford Trees and limbs were blown down along the tornado path. Peak winds were estimated at 80 mph.
22:23Z EF0 KMVX ND Cass Ayr The tornado touchdown was visible from near Ayr. Tree branches and limbs were broken down along a narrow path in two shelterbelts. Two smaller trees were snapped and thrown about in a farm yard. Peak winds were estimated at 80 mph.
22:57Z EF3 KABR ND La Moure Nortonville A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed that an EF3 tornado touched down around seven miles southeast of Nortonville, then moved southeast before lifting six miles south southeast of Berlin. This was a long tracked tornado across parts of Russell, Wano, Henrietta, and Badger townships. Damage was observed all along the tornado path, with no fewer than five farmsteads impacted, some very severely. One injury occurred where a farm home was damaged beyond repair. There were no deaths. The worst damage consisted of a farm house completely destroyed, outbuildings completely destroyed, a vehicle tossed up to one half mile away from its original location and almost unrecognizable as a motor vehicle, and a significant number of very large hard and soft wood trees both snapped and uprooted. The violent nature of tornadoes was evidenced by the twisted and mangled trees. In one case farm animals were killed. The tornado damage corresponded to EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. From that it was determined that wind speeds were on the order of 165 miles per hour.
00:06Z EF0 KABR ND Dickey Fullerton This tornado touched down in the open country. There were no impacts to structures and so no reports of damage. This was the same storm complex that produced the EF3 tornado earlier in Lamoure County.
