Winter Storm
November 28-29
Destruction
 2005

This page contains a collection of winter storm pictures taken on November 28-29, 2005.  The storm began on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 27) while the Dolphins were beating up the Raiders in sunny Oakland.  The eastern side of the state took a beating! Power in town went out for hours at a time during the afternoon and night.  Many country folk didn't have power for days.  A shelter was set up at Koch School. Kelo-land claimed that this is the worst winter storm to strike South Dakota in eight years. Click on a picture for a larger image.
