June 14th, 1985:
A thunderstorm produced golf ball-sized hail in the Castlewood area, causing considerable damage to grain, corn, soybeans, and gardens. In some areas just south of Castlewood, hail piled six inches deep. Leaves were stripped from several trees. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph accompanied the hail.
Another thunderstorm produced high winds and damaging hail in Grant and Roberts Counties. Crops incurred considerable damage north of Milbank along both sides of Highway 15. Golf ball-sized hail damaged crops 17 miles northeast of Sisseton into Browns Valley, to Mud Lake.
June 14th, 2009:
Severe thunderstorms impacted parts of central and north-central South Dakota. Hail up to the size of golf balls, flash flooding, and tornadoes occurred with these storms. Heavy rain caused flash flooding on the Moreau River, and the bridge on Route 14 was overtopped. The bridge had to be closed west of Green Grass. A basement was also flooded three miles east of Green Grass, along with several roads in the area in Dewey Country. A tornado touched down west of Hayes in Stanley County and traveled almost a mile before lifting. No damage occurred. A second tornado touched down east of Hayes, and no damage occurred.
