Survey Summary:
QLCS tornado damage reported through social media. Damage track
starts near the intersection of 41st Ave and 32nd Street, New
Salem, approximately 6 miles north-northwest of Sweet Briar Lake.
The tornado then tracked east-northeast and impacted
3 farmsteads. The first farm had minimal damage, before the most
observed damage occurred at the second farm. This is where two
separate farm buildings lost their roofs, and one had the walls
destroyed as well, which was consistent with estimated wind
speeds of 110 mph which is equivalent to EF-1 damage. There was
also a grain bin significantly damaged. About a mile of power
poles were broken or leaned over on Highway 84 in between the
second and third farms that were hit. The third farm had roof
damage to the main house as well as to one of the farm buildings,
consistent with EF-1 wind speeds around 110 mph. The tornado then
tracked east and hit a wind turbine that lost a blade. The
confirmed path so far is approximately 4.5 miles long and the
tornado lasted for 9 minutes. Additional damage further east is
being evaluated and could potentially result in a longer damage
track.

...NWS Damage Survey for 06/27/2025 Tornado Event...

Video evidence gathered from social media verifies that a supercell 
thunderstorm produced two tornadoes just north of Bismarck, North
Dakota, on the evening of Friday, June 27th 2025. The first 
tornado resulted in damage at a residence along 110th Ave NW. The
tornado tracked south, across the roadway and dissipated in an 
open field. The tornado lasted approximately 4 minutes. A second 
tornado then developed south of 110th Ave NW and drifted slowly 
southwest before dissipating in the same open field. The second 
tornado lasted approximately 5 minutes.

110th Ave NW, an east to west roadway. The tornado moved from north 
to south across the residence lot, causing significant roof damage 
to an outbuilding, toppling a covered trailer and snapping or 
uprooting a few trees. The tornado crossed 110th Ave NW and 
snapped several branches of a large cottonwood tree in the ditch 
on the south side of the roadway. The tornado then traveled a few
