3.The Fujita Scale, in 1957 a major tornado hit Fargo and the damage from that twister helped to later quantify data on the F-scale.

4.Roger Maris, the former single season home run record holder(and to some still is), was born in and raised in Fargo.

5.Flooding
2009 flood near downtown

2006 flood(the water in 2009 was 4 feet higher than pictured here in 2006)
Sorry buddy.

Roger Maris was born in Hibbing, Minnesota. Same city as Kevin McHale and Bob Dylan grew up

Yeah, but Charles Lindberg was born and grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota.
