On
June 23, 2002 Silver Lining Tours witnessed one of its best storms
ever. Intercepted in northeastern South Dakota, this storm produced
multiple tornadoes, three very large (one was 1/2 mile wide). View
some pictures of this incredible event HERE,
taken by Tour Director Roger Hill, and HERE,
taken by Bill Gargan. Tour Guide Gene Rhoden was helping the IMAX film crew
find tornadoes and they also scored big this day. See Gene's increcible
pictures of this event HERE.
Aberdeen National Weather Service Office has already rated a couple of
these tornadoes F3 and F4.
