DELMONT, S.D. (AP) — Electricity has been restored to the tornado-ravaged town of Delmont.

NorthWestern Energy spokesman Tom Glanzer says the 124 customers who can accept power all have it back on. He says the work was completed late Monday.

Some damaged properties in town will need to be repaired before electricity can be restored. Glanzer says those properties will be dealt with one by one.

Glanzer says the restoration of electricity provides “a little bit of normalization for the city.”

The Sunday morning tornado injured nine people and damaged or destroyed dozens of structures.

Cash donations designated to the Delmont Disaster Relief Fund can be dropped off at First State Bank locations in Delmont, Tripp, Armour and Geddes. Donations can be mailed to First State Bank, P.O. Box 68, Delmont, SD 57330.
