| Episode Narrative | Thunderstorms formed over eastern North Dakota during the mid afternoon of June 8th and spread eastward into the Red River Valley by the mid to late afternoon and early evening. These storms produced a few weak tornadoes and strong wind gusts. Just north of Reynolds, two semi trucks were blown over, which garnered a lot of media interest. |
| Event Narrative | There was a lot of rotation with this storm, it sent out funnel clouds every few minutes. A couple of brief touchdowns were evident in video over an open field. Peak winds were estimated at 70 mph. |
