A small tornado touched down south of Hill City near the Mickelson Trail. It continued to the south, crossing the Needles Highway (SD Highway 87) east of US Highway 16/385. The tornado blew down and snapped numerous large Ponderosa Pine trees and blew a few shingles off a house. The trees fell onto power lines, which caused the poles to fall.
