Elk Point and Burbank S.D. impacted by storms
ELK POINT, S.D. (KCAU) — Following the storms, the Blue Tin Ranch suffered severe damage. Owners of the ranch believe a tornado came by to rip off the doors of the barn completely. There were no injuries. Besides a few trees falling, the main home and the rentable guest homes did not see damage. Co-owner Kelley Jorgensen of the property told us she was left with no vision on the road at one point. Kelley Jorgensen said, 'I made my peace with this earth and said, that's it, we're done. Thank you, universe, for my time here. I could not see anything past the railroad tracks [as I] came towards the Blue Tin Ranch here again. Still could not see. I couldn't see the white lines on the road. It was so bad.'

Donelly said the size of his shed was about 60 by 160, but his house had no damage. There were some other damages done in Elk Point's Heritage Park. A tree completely snapped off, destroying the park's swing set. The park is also seeing some high water levels due to the storm.
