The anemometer is spinning fast @NDAWNmesonet Manning. #ndwx #severe
Vultures and now Wasps. The weather stations are under attack today. #ndwx #mnwx #mesonetproblems
OK. There are now 4 vultures hanging out @NDAWNmesonet Stirum. 🤔#mesonetproblems
If this Turkey Vulture is waiting for @NDAWNmesonet to die, it isn't going to happen. #ndawn #ndwx
There is a small ridge just west of @NDAWNmesonet Marmarth, but another storm has formed in eastern MT about to make it's way into far western ND and is currently heading toward this station. #ndwx #severe
Wavy @NDAWNmesonet New Salem. This shot is just east of the shelf cloud approaching the station. #ndwx
The latest view from @NDAWNmesonet New Salem. Severe Thunderstorm Warning is out for that area. #ndwx
From my son that happens to be in Dickinson this week. One of the storage lockers for his company blew over with the strong gusts this morning. #ndwx
This was the view @NDAWNmesonet New Hrdec right before the 60 mph wind at 10 feet (3 meters) was recorded. #ndwx
The @NDAWNmesonet New Hradec station just gusted to 60 mph at 10 feet (no tower there). Severe weather continues to push east. #ndwx
The drops on the lens cleared off, therefore, a better view of the shelf cloud approaching @NDAWNmesonet Manning. #ndwx #severe
A couple of drops on the lens, but an impressive shelf cloud via the camera @NDAWNmesonet Manning. #ndwx #severe #shelfcloud
The view from @NDAWNmesonet Fairfield right before a 75 mph gust was recorded at the station. #ndwx @NWSBismarck
The @NDAWNmesonet Murdock station now reported a peak gust of 66 mph as the storms moved through that location. #mnwx
Peak gust from the shelf cloud @NDAWNmesonet / MAWN Murdock has been 56 mph so far. Recently a 68 mph gust was recorded the NDAWN Herman location. Most of the North Dakota gusts were before sunrise. #ndwx #mnwx
A nasty looking shelf cloud approaching @NDAWNmesonet / MAWN Murdock at the moment. #mnwx
The @NDAWNmesonet / MAWN station near Madison Minnesota had a 63 mph gust with severe warned cell. #mnwx
The corn next to the @NDAWNmesonet Zap station handled the strong wind overnight quite well. Your mileage may vary. #ndwx
Another night with strong straight lined wind with the thunderstorms. #ndwx
