Tornado (EF3) — La Moure, North Dakota
July 17, 2011 · NOAA Storm Events record
Event narrative (NOAA)
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 uproote
