SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Storms that passed through eastern South Dakota on Saturday morning brought high winds that toppled trees and damaged farm outbuildings.
The National Weather Service says a wind gust of 66 mph was reported at the Sioux Falls airport, while the Brookings airport reported a 75 mph wind gust.
The Argus Leader reports that damage from the storms delayed JazzFest by several hours. The city of Sioux Falls closed a public swimming pool due to storm damage and Pioneer Spray Park was also closed due to electrical issues from the storm.
Dozens of Twitter users posted pictures of downed trees and power lines. Some photos showed large trees blocking streets.
The storms followed intense heat and humidity on Friday. A portion of Interstate 229 in Sioux Falls buckled Friday under the extreme heat.
