HURON, S.D. (AP) — The National Weather Service says at least two tornadoes have touched down in South Dakota.

Meteorologist Kyle Weisser with the weather service’s Sioux Falls office says one tornado tracked across part of Beadle County on Thursday night and at least one hit Miner County to the southeast.

He says crews will survey the areas tomorrow.

Beadle County Emergency Management Director Tom Moebing says the storm damaged at least one home in the county, although he says the residents were in the basement at the time and weren’t injured. There were no other reports of major damage.

In Miner County, Emergency Management Director Bob Calmus says there are no reports of damage beyond downed power lines. He said late Thursday that no injuries had been reported.

Weisser says the storms were likely to weaken as they moved eastward.
