Weekend Tornadoes Kill 6 in North Dakota and New York, Toss Trees and Train Cars
Two tornadoes with wind speeds over 100 mph caused widespread damage and fatalities in North Dakota and New York. Three people in their 70s and 80s died in rural Enderlin, North Dakota, during a storm late Friday and early Saturday. Three others, including twin 6-year-old sisters, died Sunday in a storm that hit Clark Mills in central New York. The National Weather Service gave preliminary ratings of EF-2 to EF-3, or potentially higher, for three North Dakota tornadoes–meaning wind speeds of 111 to 165 mph. EF-3 and stronger ranges are uncommon but possible in the Northern Plains, said meteorologist Jacob Spender. The tornadoes uprooted trees, tossed train cars, and damaged houses. A derecho also crossed the state. Page, North Dakota, Mayor Jim Heidorn said half the town's trees are gone. Cleanup may last all summer. Kylie Weber's rural home near Oriska lost a bedroom window, a door, part of the roof, and a grain bin. Thousands lacked power Monday. Having multiple severe weather alerts, like smartphones and radios, is crucial, Spender said, especially for remote areas where nighttime storms can be dangerous. A 105 mph tornado touched down in upstate New York before dawn Sunday, killing three people. The EF-1 tornado traveled over two miles, reaching a width of 300 yards, from Clark Mills to North Clinton. Falling trees killed the twins and another person. The tornado also destroyed a historic grist mill.

Deadly severe weather outbreak heading east could cause 'ring of fire'
At least three people are dead in North Dakota after a round of severe weather that included multiple tornado reports, as forecasters warn the storm system is making its way eastward across parts of the Midwest and Northeast. The three people were killed on June 20 in rural Enderlin, North Dakota, in the southeastern part of the state, according the Cass County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded to reports of tornado damage at a home there at about 11:40 p.m., and when they arrived, the fire department told them that storm chasers had located two of the victims. A third person was found dead at another location, the sheriff's office said. The severe storms swept through parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota on June 20, with high winds, hail and multiple reported tornadoes. The National Weather Service in Bismarck, North Dakota, said a wind gust of 101 mph was recorded at the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network station northwest of Linton. Tornadoes caused damage to homes and hail was measured at over 3.5 inches in diameter, preliminary reports to the Storm Prediction Center said. Wind gusts downed trees and power lines, the reports said. More than 75,000 people were without power across North Dakota and Minnesota the morning of June 21, according to USA TODAY's power outage tracker. The same complex of storms that originated in North Dakota is expected to move eastward through the Great Lakes region during the day on June 21 and into New York and New England by night, the National Weather Service said. The storms could bring localized flash flooding, strong wind gusts and hail. The storms come as much of the nation is undergoing a "significant and extremely dangerous heat wave" into next week, according to the weather service. Groups of thunderstorms expected to form on the edges of the dome of hot air will have a "ring of fire" effect, according to AccuWeather. Thunderstorms tend to erupt on the edges of a heat dome because high pressure is weakest in these areas, the outlet reported. The storm system could evolve into a derecho, a damaging wind event that spans hundreds of miles, AccuWeather reported. A derecho is also known as an "inland hurricane." Meanwhile, more than 150 million Americans were under some kind of advisory or warning for dangerous heat across much of the eastern half of the country. HEAT WAVE: Summer 2025 brings killer heat. Here are some surprising ways to stay safe. Temperatures on June 21 are expected to meet or exceed 90 degrees in parts of over two dozen states, according to the weather service. Triple digits are expected in parts of Kansas, Nebraska and southwestern Minnesota. The heat wave is expected to last several days and extend eastward, with major cities along the East Coast including New York and Washington, D.C., expected to top 90 for five to seven consecutive days.

1 killed, hundreds without power after Lafayette County storms
LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Miss. — The severe weather has moved out this weekend, but people in North Mississippi are now cleaning up the damage left behind. In Lafayette County, one person has died and 800 people in that area remain without power. There are also many fallen trees following the storm. Officials told WREG that the first round of storms impacted the county the most. Beau Moore, the Public Information Officer for Lafayette County's Emergency Management team, said the first round of severe weather made landfall early on Saturday and it knocked out power and downed trees. 2 women killed, 3 minors injured in Lafayette County crash Moore said the southeast section of the county got hit the hardest since that's where most of the storm damage is. Governor Tate Reeves said that a person died after a tree fell on a car near Delay Road. Although hundreds of people in Lafayette County still don't have power, officials said the utility company is working around the clock to get the lights back on for everyone. 'We don't have an estimate yet from North East. They do have some larger transmission lines that are down, but they're working to restore in the southeast section,' Moore said. 'So, we don't have an estimate on that, but what I can tell you is, North East has got all hands on deck, working through the night and this morning and this afternoon to get the power restored as soon as possible.'
