Instruction: 
For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. Large hail, damaging wind, and continuous cloud to ground lightning are occurring with these storms. Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature's leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. If you observe hail, wind damage, or flooding, please report your observations to the National Weather Service office in Rapid City via phone, email, or social media, as soon as it is safe to do so.
