A series of unusual September tornadoes swept through North Dakota and South Dakota on Sunday, marking a rare weather event for this time of year. Preliminary reports indicate at least 20 tornadoes touched down across several counties, including Emmons, Burleigh, Sheridan, McLean, and McHenry. While damage assessments are still underway, initial reports suggest that central North Dakota cities such as Bismarck and Jamestown were also heavily impacted by flash flooding. Bismarck experienced its wettest September day in 31 years, exacerbating the effects of the severe weather. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported at this time.
