Belcourt, ND & Mayville, ND (trfnews.i234.me) – Thunderstorms rolled through the Red River Valley early Friday morning, bringing strong winds, heavy lightning, and a possible tornado sighting.
In Belcourt, near the Canadian border in the Turtle Mountains, a TRF News viewer submitted video around 11:30 p.m. Thursday night showing intense lightning and wind, accompanied by rainfall.
Further south, another viewer submitted striking footage from the Mayville Airport camera around 4:50 a.m., which appeared to show a tornado on the ground. As of now, no damage reports have been confirmed in that area.
Radar images from the National Weather Service, captured between 5:00 and 5:17 a.m., show the storm system moving eastward across the Red River Valley.
TRF News is currently contacting local authorities and emergency services to determine if any damage occurred overnight.
