North Dakota EF5 Tornado Outbreak — NewsNation Feature
On June 20, 2025, I documented multiple tornadoes across North Dakota — from Spiritwood during the day to Fort Ransom after dark. The outbreak included an EF5 tornado, the first in 13 years. The next morning, June 21, 2025, I was featured on NewsNation to discuss the historic outbreak. A defining moment that brought together the chasing, the content, and the reach.
