It is important to note these results are preliminary and subject to change pending further evaluation. NWS damage survey results take into account damage intensity for scientifically proven damage indicators. If and when more damage evidence is available, further evaluation of the damage intensity will be investigated. The Enderlin tornadoes resulted from a supercell thunderstorm that moved in from the west. This thunderstorm produced two long tracked tornadoes. The first tornado began 3 miles south of Enderlin and tracked to the northeast, then north across highway 46, and finally to the northwest where it weakened and dissipated. This tornado was on the ground for around 12 miles, and at its widest was about one mile wide. Damage indicators along the path of this tornado correlates to EF-3 damage, with peak winds estimated to be around 160 mph. EF-3 damage was noted along about 7.5 miles of the total path. A second tornado developed from the same supercell thunderstorm about 4 miles northeast of Enderlin and tracked to the southeast, crossed Highway 46, and then weakened and dissipated. This tornado was on the ground for around 8 miles, at its widest was about a half mile wide. Damage indicators along the path of this tornado correlates to EF-1 damage, with peak winds estimated to be around 110 mph. .Enderlin Tornado #1... Rating: EF3 Estimated Peak Wind: 160 mph Path Length /statute/: 12.0 miles Path Width /maximum/: 1760 yards/1 mile Fatalities: 3 Injuries: Unknown Start Date: 06/20/2025 Start Time: 11:02 PM CDT Start Location: 3 S Enderlin / Ransom County / ND Start Lat/Lon: 46.5728 / -97.6031 End Date: 06/20/2025 End Time: 11:21 PM CDT End Location: 4 SSW Alice / Cass County / ND End Lat/Lon: 46.7076 / -97.5815 Survey Summary: The damage began as just a few branches but within 2.5 miles of the track, the tornado gained intensity and significantly widened. While south of Highway 46, the tornado derailed several train cars and threw one train car approximately 300 feet. Additionally, a cell tower was blown over, crops destroyed, and many large trees snapped with some debarked. A farm house was leveled with many outbuildings destroyed. As the tornado moved north of Highway 46, it caused devastating damage to two houses, one being a farmhouse that was leveled and led to 2 fatalities. The tornado continued north, causing tree damage and eventually leveling another farm house, leading to 1 fatality. As the tornado moved to the northwest, it bent over tall steel electrical transmission towers, and then eventually weakened and dissipated. .Enderlin Tornado #2... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 8.0 miles Path Width /maximum/: 880 yards/0.5 mile Fatalities: 0 Injuries: Unknown Start Date: 06/20/2025 Start Time: 11:22 PM CDT Start Location: 4 NE Enderlin / Cass County / ND Start Lat/Lon: 46.6666 / -97.5478 End Date: 06/20/2025 End Time: 11:34 PM CDT End Location: 4 ENE Sheldon / Ransom County / ND End Lat/Lon: 46.6159 / -97.4064 Survey Summary: Along the path of this tornado was extensive tree damage, including trees snapped and uprooted. Several roofs were partially blown apart as well. This tornado crossed the path of the first tornado which is evidenced by drone footage showing field scour marks in different directions. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
