| Episode Narrative |
Thunderstorms developed around the Langdon (ND) area in the early evening and tracked to the southeast. Initially the storms dropped some large hail, but as the storms approached the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area they produced some strong gusts of wind. |
| Event Narrative |
A corridor of downburst winds developed from central East Grand Forks and extended to the east-southeast for several miles. Numerous trees were snapped off and one street light was blown down. Numerous roofs received shingle and trim damage and one metal roof was peeled off of a local print shop. Peak winds were estimated at 85 to 95 mph. |
