It has a mix of the two. As is true of any place most tornadoes in North Dakota are weak. But occasionally it does get really bad ones. One of the most notable was the F5 tornado that struck Fargo, North Dakota in 1957. One thing that should be noted is that since North Dakota is rather sparsely populated the tornado there have less opportunity to cause a lot of damage.
