Population over time
2 figuresNardin fell from 52 to 43 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

| April 2026 | Tornado (EF1) | Nardin | $200,000 | Braman Tornado: Numerous spotters and chasers observed this tornado develop in western Kay County. The initial damage occurred near 140th Street and Earth Road where a tree was uprooted and a farm house suffered roof damage. The tornado continued generally east breaking a power pole on 124th Street south of Earth Road and destroying a barn and damaging more power poles and trees near Earth Road east of 124th Street. The first of two satellite tornadoes developed in this area near Earth Road between 124th and 108th. The primary tornado moved north, then looped back around to an easterly movement as the motion of both the primary tornado and the satellite tornado was influenced by the Fujiwhara effect.||As the primary tornado moved east-northeast after this interaction, a barn was destroyed along Earth Road east of 108th Street, and a number of trees and power poles were damaged along 76th Street near Fork Road. As the tornado was crossing the Chickaskia River, a second satellite tornado developed and rotated around this primary tornado. The tornado continued east snapping power poles along 60th Street, and destroying two barns and more power poles along 44th Street just south of the city limits of Braman. The survey and mobile radar data from the Doppler on Wheels project show that the tornado made another loop just southeast of Braman and east of US-177, then moved southeast damaging trees along Fork Road east of 29th Street before dissipating. |
