Homes destroyed near Kadoka as tornadoes rip through South Dakota and Minnesota, U.S.
At least 15 tornadoes were reported across Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota on June 28 as severe storms passed through the region. Eight tornadoes were reported in Minnesota, six were reported in South Dakota, and one was reported in North Dakota.
While the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) only received 15 tornado reports, more tornadoes are likely to have touched down and are yet to be confirmed.
The storms caused widespread damage in the affected areas, with the Kadoka Volunteer Fire Department (KVFD) reporting significant damage to multiple structures near Kadoka, South Dakota.
“Tornado damage south of Kadoka. Several structures were destroyed. Some minor injuries have been reported. Our thoughts are with those that have been impacted,” said the KVFD.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety (OST DPS) also confirmed the tornado touchdown south of Kadoka, reporting that the tornado destroyed multiple homes in the area.
The path of the tornado reportedly started from the Whiteriver Bridge and headed southeast approximately 5 to 6 km (3 to 4 miles).
“Please refrain from visiting the area and allow first responders and families to clean up the area and assist folks affected by the storm,” said the OST DPS.

In Minnesota, a radar confirmed tornado touched down just before 00:30 local time (LT), on Sunday near Victoria. Officials reported downed trees blocking State Highway 7 near Rolling Acres Road and Minnewashta Parkway. The highway remained closed in that area overnight.
Before the apparent touchdown in Victoria, a trained weather spotter reported a tornado on the ground near Hydes Lake, northeast of Norwood Young America, at about 00:15.
Xcel Energy and other utilities, combined, reported more than 50 000 customers without power early Sunday — most of those in the western Twin Cities metro area. The number had dropped to about 33 000 as of 19:00 LT on Sunday morning.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – For the 14th consecutive season, SDSU is in the playoffs.
With a record of 8-4 they will host 8-4 New Hampshire.
A little over four weeks ago South Dakota State was undefeated.
On Saturday they snapped a 4 game losing streak.
The Jacks are happy to keep playing football.
Graham Goering, SDSU wide receiver said, “We’re just blessed for any opportunity we are given. I think having some losses, there’s really never a doubt there actually and I think just seeing our name on screen ignites a little fire for everyone on the team. So obviously just blessed and excited for new season.”
Head coach Dan Jackson said, “This team has been close and galvanized for a long time, but what I do think it does it breathes a little bit of new life in them and last four weeks have been pretty heavy for them because they have been giving us all they have while at the same time not getting results they wanted. For them to be able to take a deep breath and remember who they are, and remember we can win and win in big moments, I think we have a really confident team that feels amazing right now not only after that play but how they competed the entire game.”
SDSU hosts New Hampshire at noon at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium.
