Massive & Dangerous Hailstorm In Sturgis Tonight

We're hearing reports of large storms hitting western South Dakota. We'll have more on our 10pm newscast, but here is what we have so far...

You can see and hear how intense this particular hailstorm was. If you search on YouTube you can already find other video clips - some showing an almost winter-like scene with so much hail lying on the ground.

So it's pretty bad storm-wise in western South Dakota. We heard reports from a KDLT employee who is visiting the Sturgis-area that there are many people hurt from the storms, and windshields broken. Structures are damaged, ambulances were called to the scene due to the severity of some of the injuries, and cars and motorcycles were damaged and dented. We'll try to add a few more pictures of the damage as we get them.
