Insane 24 Hour Rainfall Totals Across North Dakota
North Dakota just saw one of its wildest days of weather on Sunday, September 14th.
That's saying something after the spring and summer we have experienced. Some of the forecasts from the TV meteorologists were saying we had about a 5 percent chance of tornadoes yesterday.
Well, we sure saw all of that 5 percent as at least 13 twisters were confirmed by the National Weather Service in Bismarck.
In fact, we just broke a record for the most tornado warnings in a single year, with 88.
This is according to the National Weather Service, whom I spoke to this morning. Yesterday's tornado outbreak also shattered North Dakota's September tornado record.
Yesterday's tornadic storms also brought torrential rains with them, prompting flash flooding across south-central North Dakota. Nearly two and a half inches of rain fell in the Capital City in a short amount of time.

The heavy rain closed some area roads and turned streets into raging rivers. We have some pretty impressive videos on our Facebook page of the flooding and tornadoes across the area.
