UND Atmospheric Science Alumni Publish Book:   Reshaping the Tornado Belt

Vincent Godon, ’91, Nancy (Jeurissen) Godon, ’91, ’95, and Kelly (Kramlich) Serr, ’08, published Reshaping the Tornado Belt, a book about a tornado that devastated Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, UND, and the surrounding area in June 1887.  The book not only details the tornado, but also digs into the history and important people who helped build Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, and UND.  It dispels the myth that a tornado has never struck Grand Forks or East Grand Forks, and it provides an interesting story that weaves together the regional development and rivalries of the time.  Vince and Nancy reside in Grand Forks, and Kelly lives in Aberdeen, South Dakota.  Learn more about Reshaping the Tornado Belt at www.reshapingthetornadobelt.com.
