DELMONT, S.D. (AP) — A relief fund has been set up to help residents of the tornado-ravaged town of Delmont.

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.

The Sunday morning tornado injured nine people and damaged or destroyed dozens of structures. The National Weather Service rated the storm an EF-2, with a peak wind speed of 130 mph.

The Red Cross of the Dakotas is asking people to hold off on physical donations until the needs of the residents are determined. Cash donations are being encouraged, with the money used to feed residents and responders at the scene.
