Severe Weather Threat June 15-23

Decoupling and then lofting a train car 100 yards is incredible. Basically think of this - it pulled several cars off the tracks, rolled them, ripped one car free from the rest and lofted it 100 yards.

Last EF3 tornado in North Dakota was August 27th, 2016, but I hadn't realized it had been 15 years since the last EF4 in North Dakota which was on June 17th, 2010. You actually had 2 EF4 tornadoes that day.

The Berlin (Lamoure County), ND tornado of July 17, 2011 was also almost certainly violent, possibly extremely violent.

NWS Grand Forks says QRT (Timmy) is staying remote. Take of that what you will.

These tornadoes were strong enough to rip heavy duty vehicles and equipment to piece’s. Violent wedge day indeed.

this would make it a cat 2 - cat 3 in terms of winds / pressure

Keep in mind the elevation, since obviously the higher in elevation the lower the air pressure.

The central pressure of the MCV would be higher translated to sea level.

No vegetation left whatsoever. Craziness. The derecho probably did tons of damage but it's a good thing it caught up to those storms before they reached Fargo.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that was a plowed farmfield which was already barren to begin with. It was likely disturbed by the tornado though.

As a Midwesterner I can say farm fields are well into growth this time of year. Corn crop is already knee height (edit: its actually chest height lol). I think this was a grass field of some sort based on the vegetation just past all the mud.

I will say it's always hard to distinguish plowed field from large areas of scouring given how similar they look. Tornadoes really plow $hit up.

its crazy how you all have that corn sweat phenomenon up there in the midwest

Yes we do.

 

[KakashiHatake2000]

Yes we do.

gotcha i thought i saw somewhere that it can even cause higher dew points

The temperature was like 80.0°F and the dewpoint was like 72.0°F when the Enderlin tornado happened.
