BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Late-season tornadoes strafed eastern South Dakota Thursday night, causing damage to power lines and homes between Wessington and Wolsey, the National Weather Service reported.A report from emergency officials indicated a tornado with at least three funnels caused damage near Wessington about 6:40 p.m.Another report said a quarter-mile-wide tornado was seen northwest of Wolsey about the same time.A short time later, the weather service received a report from law enforcement of a tornado west of the Huron airport.Reports of hail were received from the De Smet, Spencer, Farmer and Salem areas.

There were some very substantial tornadoes that ripped through South Dakota, Minnesota and Illinois. There was damage and one recorded death. This picture is of a more 'traditional' tornado that seems to drop out of the sky attached to no other and larger vorticity.
