06/02/2026                   Stutsman           ND   Public

            A 200 foot by 60 foot barn was blown over
            and dismantled one mile west of Spiritwood.
            Based on photo and satellite imagery, barn
            was oriented west-east with 3 doors facing
            south. The storm was moving from south to
            north, which would be a favorable direction
            to funnel wind into the broad side of the
            barn with multiple doors, helping the barn
            collapse and push pieces into the tree row
            directly to the north. This is consistent
            with wind speeds of around 85 mph.
