NWS Tornado Damage Surveys for July 13, 2024
National Weather Service survey teams mapped 1 tornado path from this storm day (1 EF1), 5 miles in all. The map above draws each surveyed path as the NWS mapped it, colored by the EF rating of each stretch, in place of the straight start-to-end line.
| Rating | Peak wind | Path length | Max width | Deaths / injuries | On the ground | Surveyed by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EF1 | 107 mph | 4.5 mi | 80 yd | 0 / 0 | 00:15–00:45 UTC | NWS Grand Forks |
