May 7th Codington County, SD

Odd feature on top of updraft tower.  Ice?

Cell going up south of Watertown, SD as Eric Whitehill, Rich Gudmunsen, Max Gudmunsen, and Randy Nelson look on.

Nicely rounded, but elevated base as hail is reported just up the road from us.

Spring field work can wait...1" hail being reported under this near Florence, SD.

Elevated storm in northeastern South Dakota.

Back lit base

Sunshower and rainshower in the same realm.

Interesting shadow cast of the open prairie.

Base moves off to the north.

Waiting on drier days.

Beautiful views from the high area west of Sisseton, SD.

High based storm passes over a herd of cattle.

Cattle not concerned as CG hits as cell passes to the west.

Eric Whitehill checks out some of the local bovine.

One last video grab of lightning over the South Dakota prairie.
