On this date in 1925, a powerful storm caused significant wind damage and power outages in Fargo-Moorhead, uprooting trees, damaging buildings and disrupting services.

Here's the complete story as it appeared in the paper that day:

Saturday night Fargo was again visited by a storm, this time of rain only. Shortly before 9 p.m. a heavy downpour cleared the streets, but after half an hour this turned into a steady rain which kept up until midnight. No wind accompanied it but a decided cooling of the atmosphere was noticeable.

Residents of Fargo, Moorhead and the surrounding district Saturday took stock of the damage caused by the near cyclone of Friday night which tore its way through portions of the two cities and some of the nearby country, accompanied by a torrential downpour of rain.
