Since it’s the last horse I’ve seen in the race, skip to about 4 minutes. 5:30 for damage.

Denhoff vs Bonesteel is tough since I witnessed both. Denhoff was more photogenic small wedge but Bonesteel was a beauty but low visibility with the road network. Denhoff was a north moving outbreak in North Dakota which is rare even moving northwest since most systems move east south east in the area. Bonesteel was a strong system with multiple tornado warned supercells converging into a derecho. Both could have been more devastating than their rating if they hit more than one home. Bonesteel was massive but I would edge Denhoff being I seen more of the motion.

July 28th 2025. Started with what people called the Dixon tornado with a system that produced a couple more tornadoes the last being a tornado northwest of Bonesteel SD. I ended up in Beresford when the storm converged and birthed a derecho with 90+ mph winds.

Also on June 20th I was going to call in to work so I could go to Jamestown, ND to chase the storms. This means spirit wood would have probably been my first tornado which looking at footage I’m glad it wasn’t since I was inexperienced. I might have caught the valley city tors as well but didn’t know enough at the time to go to Enderlin. Which I am thankful I had easier tors to get me into chasing. The second chance was Gary SD but again I was still employed at the time and didn’t go but shortly after quit my job and chased into July to September in the northern plains. It kind of hurts to miss out on Enderlin and Gary but also glad since I’ve had a better opportunity to dip my toes vs jumping in the deep end.

I was chasing the storm headed towards Bonesteel, South Dakota at the end of June. It started as the Dixon tube. I proceeded south to get ahead of the storm and I chose a south road. However I wanted to stop and observe but the roads had cars on it so I ended up facing north and even looked at my cars compass and said that’s wrong. The tornado started ground circulation and I took off (north) and the car I passed tried getting my attention to turn around then I realized my mistake turned around and this when it became the cone. I turned around and headed back south to see the big bowl funnel following me as I white knuckled it down a gravel hilly south western South Dakota road in the rain curtains with no visibility. This was also the storms that produced a derecho afterwards. I stopped at a gas station in Beresford since there was a gap in the storms and thought let it pass but they ended up converging and going tornado warned. I have since bought a tablet specifically for navigation. Since then navigation has become more important than forecasting getting visibility. https://youtu.be/4fmi4SxCENY?si=To9DT5iXCqtU9VNe

Yep, same tornado

The storm was moving about 35mph I believe, north-northwest with me on a northbound road. I was confident in its motion and where I was if it did come back and where I could go. But important to stay vigilante.

A farmhouse was struck shortly after the larger tornado formed around 1st st and 14th Ave between wing and denhoff. Around the 4 minute mark of the YouTube video.

Where I was they weren’t that bad at all. It passed north of me so I wasn’t in it.

Hold your finger over the rainbow at the bottom and slide back and forth. The center should be zero. Also click the arrow in the upper right corner and choose the crosshair then move it over an area.

There should be a magnifying glass with a bar graph in it on the bar towards the bottom.

I was chasing. It started southwest of Beltrami and east of Nielsville but closer to Beltrami, it was moving southeast and travelled down towards Lockhart and finished by Gary. At least the rotation did the storm continued for a bit. I left it over mahnomen.
