WATERTOWN, S.D.–An explosive line of thunderstorms with embedded tornadoes raced across eastern South Dakota last night, leaving behind destructive and widespread damage.
One of the hardest hit communities was Castlewood, where a tornado hit the city around 6 p.m.
Aerial video shot by a drone shows dozens of homes with damage, trees snapped off or uprooted, and power lines down.
Governor Kristi Noem visited Castlewood last night. Here’s what she told local residents…
