A deadly tornado that ripped through a rural city in North Dakota in June has been upgraded to an EF-5, the National Weather Service said Monday, marking the first U.S. twister with an EF-5 rating in 12 years.

The federal agency's Grand Forks, North Dakota, facility estimates the twister that touched down in the southeast city of Enderlin on June 20 had a maximum wind speed of over 210 mph. Wind speeds in a tornado need to reach at least 200 mph for it to be classified as an EF-5, the highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

Powerful Tornado Flattens Brazilian Town, Killing at Least 6 and Injuring Hundreds
Updated November 8, 2025

Introduction:

(CBS) A powerful tornado hit Brazil's southern state of Parana, killing six people and injuring more than 400 others Friday night, state officials said Saturday.

The tornado, which hit speeds of more than 155 mph, destroyed dozens of homes in Rio Bonito do Iguacu and Guarapuava and prompted the government to declare an emergency in the affected region.

"It destroyed everything. It destroyed the town, houses, schools. What will become of us?" Roselei Dalcandon told AFP as she stood by a pile of rubble that used to be her shop.

State officials in a statement said at least one person was missing hours after the tornado touched down. Five of the killed were adults and the sixth was a 14-year-old girl. Five of the victims were from the municipality of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu and one was from Guarapuava.

The number of people missing is expected to rise, officials said.
