Was there a twin tornado in Fargo ND sometime in the early to mid - 1950's?
Available records do not mention any twin tornadoes in Fargo in the 1950s. Fargo was hit by an F3 tornado on August 30, 1956 and an F5 tornado on June 20, 1957. However, sometimes a strong tornado will spawn a weaker satellite tornado that orbits it for a short while. Weak tornadoes in the 1950s often escaped notice, so it is possible that one of these two tornadoes was accompanied by a weak satellite tornado that was never recorded. Some tornadoes contain smaller vortices within the main funnel. These can sometimes be visible as two or more funnels in a single tornado. Such a multiple vortex tornado is another possibility.
