A powerful line of severe thunderstorms moved traversed Lawrence County entirely from west to east. Several reports of three-quarter inch diameter hail were received across the county. The associated rainfall created flash flooding and mudslides in downtown Deadwood where a recent large forest fire had destroyed vegetation and severely burned the ground to within a few feet of structures in town. Mud and water two to three feet deep ran through downtown streets and businesses. Debris from the mudslides damaged several houses, vehicles, and the hospital.

Lightning. Lightning struck a cable that supplies power to one of the mine shafts at the Homestake Mining Co. This caused problems with the shaft elevator, the compressor and milling operations. There were people at the bottom of the mine who were not able to exit through the shaft. Instead they took mining tractors through the mining tunnels to another shaft and exited there.

@NWS @ShanMirza5 Meanwhile nothing matters but the aftermath of the horrendous hours-long NYC power outage. Seriously?
