A long track supercell that developed in northeastern Wyoming tracked through the Black Hills of South Dakota before eventually moving southeast into northwestern Nebraska as part of a developing MCS that pushed into Central Nebraska late into Friday night. This storm was responsible for a brief tornado west of the town of Martin where this video package was shot. It opens in the “bear cage” with blinding rain and wind as the reported tornado moved within a mile of the photographer. Ends with minor flooding and tree damage in town.
Martin, SD is 100 miles southeast of Rapid City near the Nebraska border.
