| Episode Narrative | A cold front moved into eastern North Dakota in the early morning hours of the 3rd and helped spawn a thunderstorm complex that moved from near Cooperstown (ND) to near St. Vincent (MN). Most of the severe events that occurred were destructive thunderstorm wind gusts, but there were also a few reports of hail. |
| Event Narrative | This tornado tracked intermittently for about 26 total miles, while wrapped in heavy rain and downburst winds. About sixteen of the miles occurred in Walsh County with about ten miles in Pembina County. The tornado touched down near Pleasant Valley, passed near Homme Dam, then crossed into Pembina County about one mile northwest of Hoople. The tornado snapped or uprooted numerous trees and tore a roof off of a pole barn. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph. |
