A mini derecho slammed South Dakota with blistering winds—peaking at 131 mph in Highmore, tying it as the 15th strongest thunderstorm gust ever recorded in the U.S. Though not quite meeting full derecho criteria, this storm packed a devastating punch, whipping winds between 60-87 mph across 350 miles of the state before crossing into North Dakota and Minnesota. Rotation spawned tornado warnings, including a brief touchdown near Andover. The aftermath? Massive cleanup and a sobering reminder: nature’s fury doesn’t care for labels.
