President Bush has declared a disaster in eleven North Dakota counties hit by heavy rains in June. Governor Hoeven says he'll seek to add damage in the southeastern part of the state from Sunday night storms. National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Gust says authorities believe a couple of Tornadoes might have hit the region on Sunday. During the June storms repair estimates in the eleven counties were estimated at more than one-point-six (m) million dollars. The disaster declaration makes federal aid available. Counties included are Barnes, Bowman, Dickey, Grant, LaMoure, Logan, McHenry, Ransom, Richland, Sargent and Stutsman. The Federal Emergency Management Agency says damage surveys are continuing in other areas, and might result in the addition of more counties and other forms of assistance.  « Less
