Heavy rainfall of 2 to 6 inches caused widespread flooding of roads and basements, especially in an area from the town of Howard to 4 miles north of Howard. Several county roads were washed out and some bridges were damaged. A golf course on the east side of Howard was flooded.
The damage path of the hail was estimated to be about 12 miles long and three to five miles wide. The hail caused widespread crop damage, many windows were broken, and some sheds and vehicles were damaged.
Large hail broke windows in buildings and vehicles, dented vehicles, and damaged siding. The hail caused minor damage to corn crops and more extensive damage to soybean crops in the area. The amount of crop damage was not known.
Thunderstorm wind gusts damaged several buildings in Howard, with numerous trees and powerlines down. Crop damage is an estimate from insured losses. Information provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.
An extended period of thunderstorm wind gusts of 58 mph or greater was measured by South Dakota Road Weather Information System site SD597 1 mile west of Howard. A peak wind gust of 99 mph occurred at 1413CST.
Thunderstorm winds caused tree damage, including several large trees blown down. The winds also damaged a dugout at a baseball diamond, blew down power lines, and blew down the door to a farm shop.
