Cleanup week set to start in Grand Forks, East Grand Forks
May 10—GRAND FORKS — Residents in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks will be able to put items on the berm for city pickup starting Monday.
The traditional cleanup week runs May 12-16. Crews will follow the street maintenance schedule for both cities and not the trash pickup schedule. Having crews follow the street maintenance allows easier access to the berm and minimizes the number of vehicles on the streets on those days.
"The biggest thing some people don't understand is that we collect it with large equipment," Grand Forks Public Works Director Sharon Lipsh said. She urges residents to "not put it close to trees, fire hydrants or mailboxes so we can get in there and pick it up with our equipment."
Residents also should avoid putting glass on the berm.
"Line things up parallel to the street," East Grand Forks Public Works Supervisor Erika Perez said. "Don't lean it up against their mailbox or against a tree or a fire hydrant ... Just away from anything they don't want damaged."
The Grand Forks street maintenance schedule is:
* Monday: Both streets and avenues between 32nd Avenue South, 47th Avenue South, Washington Street South and the Red River. It also includes streets between 32nd Avenue South, DeMers Avenue, South Columbia Road and the Red River.
* Tuesday: Streets and avenues between 32nd Avenue South, 47th Avenue South, Washington Street South and South Columbia Road. It also includes avenues between 32nd Avenue South, DeMers Avenue, South Columbia Road and the Red River.
* Wednesday: Streets and avenues between 17th Avenue South, 32nd Avenue South, South Columbia Road and 42nd Street South. It also includes streets in neighborhoods north of DeMers Avenue.
* Thursday: Streets and avenues between DeMers Avenue, 17th Avenue South, 42nd Street South and South Columbia Road. It also includes avenues in neighborhoods north of DeMers Avenue.
* Friday: Streets and avenues south of 47th Avenue and the area south of 32nd Avenue South between Interstate 29 and South Columbia Road.

Tornado kills 3 in North Dakota, 106 mph gust slams northern Minnesota
Tornado kills 3 in North Dakota, 106 mph gust slams northern Minnesota originally appeared on Bring Me The News. The ferocious storms that pounded North Dakota and Minnesota Friday night into Saturday morning left three people dead and a path of destruction. While the derecho that stretched across North Dakota, northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin impacted the most locations, two monster supercells that formed ahead of the line in eastern North Dakota produced multiple large, violent tornadoes. One of the tornadoes killed at least three people about three miles east of Enderlin. According to the Cass County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to a home at approximately 11:40 p.m. Once there, deputies were informed by the Enderlin Fire Department that storm chasers had found two people dead at the scene. "Shortly after learning of this, the Enderlin Fire Department was dispatched to another location, and a third deceased person was found as a result of the tornado. Deputies found extensive damage to the area and began conducting well-being checks on people with several partner agencies," the sheriff's office said Saturday morning. "Law enforcement, the Enderlin Fire Department, and other first responders continue searching the area and checking on residents now." Meteorologist Andy Hill said the Enderlin tornado is "one of the strongest tornadoes" he has covered, and the radar data make it the strongest tornado ever recorded in North Dakota. The official intensity, however, has not yet been verified by the NWS. The supercells that produced the monster tornadoes were eventually swallowed by the fast-moving complex of storms that produced 70-110 mph wind gusts across North Dakota and northern Minnesota. The highest known wind gust from the line in Minnesota was 106 mph at the Bemidji Airport at 12:45 a.m. The National Weather Service reported that emergency managers were alerting authorities to "extensive damage from falling and uprooted trees on roofs, cars, people trapped." Jorge Prince, the mayor of Bemidji, wrote on Facebook that he "cannot ever recall hearing a rushing wind like that!" Beltrami County officials said Saturday morning that there are "thousands of trees blocking roadways," but no injuries have been reported. "There are widespread power outages and numerous roadways remain impassable due to debris. Residents should plan for long-term power outages as significant infrastructure damage has occurred," the county said. The American Red Cross will be assisting in the Bemidji area with temporary housing. We'll add more information as damage reports filter in throughout the morning.
