 DISCUSSION: As we turn the clocks back to August 7th, 2010, we arrive at the occurrence of an EF-4 tornado touched down south of Tyler in Richland County, North Dakota and tracked to the northeast for roughly 2.5 miles before crossing the Bois de Sioux River into Wilkin County, Minnesota. In Wilkin County, the tornado continued for another 2.5 miles and lifted about 650 pm CDT. The total track length was about 5 miles, and peak winds were estimated at 175 mph. Thus, it goes without saying that this tornadic event was quite memorable for those people who were living either near or directly along the path of this historic North Dakota tornado.

I remember this tornado like it was yesterday. All the news on our station's television aired the violence of this tornado. It was a very scary and devastating event for the people of North Dakota. I'm really happy that we were able to move on and learn from it. It also shows that nature truly is the apex predator. No matter how much you prepare, you won't still be able to stop nature at its full force. Leave a Reply. |
