Larimore, the town this property stands in, in 56 storm reports between 1994 and 2025: 29 hail, 20 thunderstorm wind, 3 tornado, 2 flash flood.
The reports record 2 deaths. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
After receiving 15 to 20 inches of rain over portions of western Grand Forks county, the area around Larimore quickly experienced flooding problems. During the rainfall, two men from the area decided to drive to Larimore to get something to eat. They drove into a washed out section of gravel road 30 feet deep with rushing water at the bottom. Both died in the crash about 7 miles west of Larimore. 600 feet of railroad bed washed away near Larimore, when two 3 foot diameter culverts washed out. 10 Burlington Northern-Santa Fe trains pass through this stretch daily as well as AMTRAK trains. At the Larimore Dam, water rose behind the dam and then overflowed the top. The water then cascaded 40 to 50 feet down the rocky cliffs below the dam, making it appear that the dam had failed. In the town of Larimore, water rose above the curbs. North of town, on the south branch of the Turtle River, water flowed 7 feet deep over the highway 18 bridge.
A brief rain wrapped tornado developed within the squall line and produced EF-0 damage to trees near a farmstead and EF-1 tree damage to the eastern side of a shelterbelt about 2 miles south of Larimore. Peak estimated wind speed was 95 mph.
Storm spotters reported a tornado occurring south of highway 2 and west of hwy 18. Tornado appeared to track eastward to near hwy 18, north of larimore by 540 pm cdt. Some tree branch damage was noted but nothing damaged structurally. Peak winds estimated to 80 mph, with a maximum width to 100 yards.
A wall cloud was reported around 558 PM CDT about six miles west of Larimore. The subsequent funnel cloud was reported and a photo posted to social media.
Heavy rainfall contributed to a major fiber optic line cut between Lakota and Larimore. Telephone service to most of northeast North Dakota was knocked out.
