South Dakota Weather

Lex and Dad left for a fathers and sons campout, about 30 mins later we got hit with a violent storm with wind hail and a downpour.  Needless to say,  the boys were hit too.  This is a view from our front window.  Below is the view out our back sliding door.  To make matters worse, our girls night movie was ruined when we lost power from 7 til 12.

The next morning our garden looks hammered.

Saturday night we were hit with a less violent storm overall, but the hail was much worse.  Lex collected some at the start, about five minutes later he ran out and got some more.  While he was out there the got welts on his arms from being hit by the stones.  We were the lucky ones, about 10 miles east they say tennis ball sized hail stones.
