UPDATED: Minor damage reported in Grand Forks County after storms; rail cars overturned in Traill County
Jun. 21—GRAND FORKS — Minor damage was reported in Grand Forks County and elsewhere in the Grand Forks region following a night of high winds and tornado-like weather, according to the National Weather Service in Grand Forks. However, farther south in the Grand Forks region — especially in and around Mayville — the damage was worse. Traill County Sheriff Steve Hunt told the Grand Forks Herald that power was out for some residents, a diesel fuel tank was tipped over and rail cars were overturned in the southern part of his county. As the sun rose in Grand Forks County, residents generally awoke to very minor damage, such as a few branches scattered about. Some were without power until around 5 a.m. A tornado warning was issued for Grand Forks County just after midnight Saturday morning, June 21, as strong winds moved into the area from Griggs County to the west. The tornado warning was downgraded to a severe thunderstorm warning shortly after, and that warning expired around 5 a.m., National Weather Service lead forecaster Tim Lynch said. A tornado signature was observed in Griggs County, but there has been no confirmation of a tornado in Grand Forks County. Local wind speeds reached 69 mph at Grand Forks International Airport. In the region, wind speeds reached 110 mph in Steele County and up to 80 to 90 mph in Traill County, Lynch said. Ben Gates, director of emergency management in Steele County, said that as of 10 a.m. Saturday, damage assessments were being done throughout the county, including in the city of Hope, which had several large trees fall. "I'd say a large majority of the trees in the city are down, covering streets and stuff like that," Gates said. Several homes had trees fall on their roofs, he said, and others sustained damage from shingles being ripped off. Homeowners also reported their patios, trampolines and other outdoor items were taken by the storm. As far as Gates knew, there were no injuries reported. "We have a pretty robust emergency alert system, so we were (relying) pretty heavily on that last night, and I think it was pretty well received," he said. As county employees work to clear the streets, Gates asks residents to stay clear, holding off on driving around to assess the damage. "Make sure that we're giving the crew space and time to work," he said. Structural damage from high winds was reported near Bemidji. Three people were killed overnight in a tornado that hit Enderlin, North Dakota, an hour west of Fargo in Cass and Ransom counties, WDAY reported Saturday morning. The region is now in peak storm season, which generally lasts from late June through July, Lynch said, and he characterized the overnight storms as on the stronger side of normal for this time of year. "The wind was profound on this one," he said. In Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, a drive through town showed very minor damage, including small tree branches down and construction signs toppled. "We were so lucky. No major damage anywhere in the county," said Kari Goelz, Grand Forks County's emergency management director. "Only a handful of power outages." She said Grand Forks received just over an inch of rain. And more good news for Greater Grand Forks: Goelz said the Grand Forks Fair would open on schedule Saturday after closing early Friday evening. In Mayville, numerous tree branches were downed by the storm. Community members began working shortly after sunup to clear the debris. Mayville received an inch of rain, according to WDAY. Sheriff Hunt said Mayville was hit with strong winds, but the worst of it was in the southwest corner of Traill County, near Clifford and Galesburg. "We have tons of trees down (and) power lines are down," he told the Herald. "We some grain bins and structures like that that have been damaged and tipped over." He said the focus is to get the streets open and power restored. It could take several days to get power back on for some in Traill County, he said. Hunt encourages anyone in the area to be aware of downed power lines. Conditions could favor more storms for the Red River Valley on Sunday, when a cold front will approach from the west. There will be a potential for more strong thunderstorms, possibly bringing damaging wind gusts up to 75 mph, golf ball-sized hail and the potential for a tornado or two, Lynch said. He urged people to monitor the forecast through the rest of the weekend. "Be mindful of how you get your warnings," he said. "Make sure you have multiple ways of getting your warnings, (Sunday) for sure."

New research could be 'overstating' link between Parkinson's and pesticides, neurologist says
Consultant Neurologist Professor Tim Lynch has said that recent research linking the increasing number of cases of Parkinson's Disease with pesticides could be 'overstating' the complex issue. Speaking on RTÉ radio's Today with Claire Byrne show, Prof. Lynch said that while environmental factors could be a contributory factor, there were also genetic factors. Advertisement However, he acknowledged 'there is something' that is increasing the frequency of the disease. 'It's not just age, there's something else that's actually increasing the frequency of it. And the hypothesis is that there is something in the environment. 'Is it some of these solvents or could it be various things like pesticides, whether it's paraquat, whether rotenone or different pesticides used, that could increase the risk and hence the study is intriguing because pesticides are used by golf clubs for greens and for fairways, it's quite common. 'That's changed over time, obviously they're trying to use less toxins in relation to pesticides in sprays, but they may have been exposed 20, 30 years ago, they could still have an effect on the population. 'We know there are specific genes that can sometimes cause Parkinson's to go down through the generations or they get what we call autosomal recessive disease where you get a gene from mom and gene from dad and you get Parkinson's. So there's a certain percentage of Parkinson's, maybe 10 to 15 percent that have got a significant genetic component to it.' Advertisement Prof. Lynch outlined that the new research comes from a Rochester epidemiology study going back to 1991 involving just over 400 people which looked at where people lived – if it was near golf courses or vulnerable water areas. 'They were able to show about a double increased risk if you were living within a mile of a golf course or if you're living within a vulnerable water area. It's a small study, so you can't overly hang your hat on it' While there is not a cure yet for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, Prof Lynch said he was an optimist. 'If you're proactive about various things about your brain, you can certainly look after yourself. So keep yourself intellectually busy, sleep well, exercise, and have a good diet. Maintain social contacts and make sure your blood pressure and sugar levels are well controlled. 'There are a bunch of variables that keep your brain healthy so your hundred billion neurons remain intact but in particular that you generate those synapses, those connections from neurons to each other and that gets driven by education and very driven by reading.'
