Rapid City, the town this property stands in, in 620 storm reports between 1993 and 2025: 469 hail, 103 thunderstorm wind, 17 flood, 13 flash flood.
The reports record 5 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Numerous automobiles were damaged by large hail in a hotel parking lot near Rushmore Mall. The hail also caused significant roof damage to Knollwood Heights Elementary and North Middle schools.
Hail to softball size broke windows and damaged roofs in the Black Gap subdivision. It also damaged vehicles and at least 70 motor homes at the Hart Ranch campgound.
Two to six inches of rain caused flash flooding in the Rapid City area. Rapid Creek overflowed its banks and flooded portions of the bike path and several roads. Flooding was reported along Sheridan Lake Road in the Spring Brook Acres area. Fifth Street was flooded between Minnesota Street and Catron Boulevard. Arrowhead and Meadowbrook golf courses were flooded and a cart bridge was destroyed. Water was three feet high against Meadowbrook Elementary School. A few structures along Rapid Creek were flooded near South Valley Drive.
Runoff from heavy rain on already saturated ground caused flash flooding on the north and east sides of Rapid City. At least three people had to be rescued after driving into flood waters, including one where a culvert washed out on Nike Road just east of Haines Avenue and north of Country Road.
Slow moving thunderstorms moved over the Rapid City area in the late afternoon and dropped two to three inches of rain in about an hour. Runoff from the heavy rain flooded streets and low-lying areas. Rapid Creek quickly overflowed its banks near the fairgrounds. The heaviest rain fell over the Robbinsdale area, where the runoff filled a detention pond near Robbinsdale Park to a depth of 30 feet and tore up sections of asphalt on Fairlane Drive. Several vehicles were pushed by the rushing water and one vehicle ended up in the detention pond. The fire department had to perform several water rescues.
Lightning struck the top of a pickup truck and started a fire in the cab. The bolt also struck the ground, causing pieces of asphalt to hit the truck. The driver was uninjured.
Numerous tree limbs were blown down including some that were 12 inches in diameter. A building supply store received roof damage. Also, scattered power outages occurred.
Heavy rain caused minor flooding in north Rapid City. A car was washed into a ditch at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Disk Drive. Runoff flooded backyards and basements at the corner of Crestwood Drive and Racine Street. Rapid Creek rose to within a foot of its banks near the Central States Fairgrounds. The water quickly receded within 20 minutes at most locations.
