Good morning, Rapid City.

A storm hit the Rosebud community late Sunday night into early Monday morning, damaging houses—scattering debris, toppling trees, and forcing one trailer to tip over, which led to a family being sent to the hospital though no deaths were reported.

Community members quickly helped those affected by using St. Francis Indian School as a temporary shelter while officials and Red Cross workers began damage assessments and considered FEMA funds.
