The Sioux Falls radar (KFSD), 99 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 18:31 UTC.
1 hail. Local standard time, as filed.
Large hail covered the ground in places and caused damage to corn and soybean crops. Some of the damage appeared to be severe, but the amount of crop damage could not be determined because of the uncertainty of the degree of recovery of the crops. Several thousand acres of crops were affected.
