National Crime Victims’ Rights Week recognized in South Dakota
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – If you’re in downtown Sioux Falls Wednesday night, you’ll notice the Arc of Dreams lit in purple. It’s to signify National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
Victim advocates want this week to serve as a reminder that help is available.
Advocates can help victims navigate the court system, while therapists can help with the healing process.
In honor of the week, the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Tribe is hosting an open house to connect residents with local organizations.
The event continues Thursday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Dakota Magic Casino, which is located at the Sisseton exit of Interstate 29.
“(We’re) talking about victims of crime, domestic assault and sexual violence awareness — personal stories of surviving, self-care activities. We want a positive educational awareness on sexual violence and domestic assault,” said Melanie Stoneman, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate domestic violence program coordinator.
To connect with victim resources across the state, contact the Helpline Center by calling 211.

130 mph straight line winds devastate South Dakota wind farm – Oklahoma Energy Today
Oklahoma didn’t suffer any strong wind damage this week, but wind farms in South Dakota certainly did.
Several wind turbines were toppled by the 130 MPH winds that hit the central part of the state Monday morning. They were described as straight line winds and not tornadoes. But the winds compared to those recorded in some tornadoes.
The 131-mph wind was recorded at Holabird in Hyde County at 6:15 a.m. local time.
A picture of the extensive damage showed at least 7 of the wind towers were bent over by the powerful Mother Nature.
According to a report by Energy News Beat, storm chaser Jakob McMillin documented the scene in a widely shared post on X (formerly Twitter), showing multiple wind turbine towers collapsed or heavily damaged, with blades and structural debris scattered across the prairie. In replies to his post, McMillin stated he observed “over 20” turbines destroyed or critically damaged.
The Affected Wind Farm
The damaged facility is the South Dakota Wind Energy Center (also known as the Highmore Wind Energy Project or Highmore Wind Farm), located approximately 10 miles south of Highmore.
- Number of turbines: 27
- Turbine model: GE Vernova 1.5s (1.5 MW each)
- Total nameplate capacity: 40.5 MW
- Commissioning year: 2003 (South Dakota’s first major wind farm)
- Owner/Operator: NextEra Energy Resources (formerly FPL Energy)
- Power purchaser: Basin Electric Power Cooperative
