High winds slammed through Moody County on Friday (July 1). Trees as old as the city were uprooted in Flandreau. Power lines were knocked down, and some people have been without electricity for a week. Houses and outbuildings suffered damage as well. Weather experts say it was not a tornado, but powerful 70-plus mph winds that did the damage. Farmers and Flandreau residents have been cleaning up the debris in the sweltering humidity that followed. Slowly but surely, the yards and streets are returning to normal.
