DESTRUCTIVE Hail destroys the city of Belle Fourche South Dakota

[@Unlucky1287]

Sounded and felt like bricks hitting the house. Scariest storm I've ever been in. Only twice in my life have I ever hid in a closet from a storm and both times were in Belle Fourche.

[@snothead3636]

ok

[@LaKeRsOvErCeLtIcS]

Glad you're okay

[@kristamuhm1037]

We we're in this storm in the basement it sounded like someone just throwing large baseballs or even large stones at our house! We did alright, shocked my three year old grandson thought they were cannon balls but he stayed calm and just laughed it off.

[@Unlucky1287]

@@kristamuhm1037 you're lucky! Both my girls were terrified and cried off and on for hours afterwards. She heard the skylights breaking as we ran for the closet, so i dont blame her. I'm glad I didnt hear that or I would have had a harder time too.

[@mepix00]

Okay... the city of Belle Fourche is NOT destroyed. There was a lot of destruction, yes, but not an entire town was destroyed. No lives were lost. I was in it myself and it was scary as.... but we as a community are still here. Be careful with your titles.

[@madbull04]

Destroyed just means that there was damage to the town. This is different from completely destroyed (EF5 tornado)

[@northamericanyeti]

Well maybe if people think it's gone they'll stop moving here.

[@aaronvangelder433]

Marketing for clicks😉🙂

[@veronicalake2751]

Never would have happened if someone stood Out & demanded No demonds in My town. Brake the storm from the middle & pull it Down.

[@natalientigerssignsoftimes7270]

It's called the need for propaganda

[@kristamuhm1037]

As a citizen of Belle Fourche you guys did amazing job. It was a scary storm but we faired alright. Lost a few windows and stuff to close to the windows. We appericate the professionlism your crew had. Our community got together right away and begin clean up. Couldn't ask for a better town!! Hope when you return you don't bring us a cat four hail storm lmao!!

[@StormChaserJordanHall]

haha thank you

[@jonathonvince561]

Imagine having a car lot and every car on the lot is totaled

[@michaelmathews295]

I did notice traveling through the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles that a lot of auto dealers had roofs or awnings over their inventory to prevent this from happening to them.

[@triciaforsting3648]

Kudos to the storm chasers for incredible video. Stay safe. Reminded me of hurricanes we go through in south Florida

[@heatherrainwater4483]

Tell all residents to only use local contractors not the fly by night ones. Trust me it willbe worth the wait instead of dealing with morons that lie threw their teeth. Its been a year and we're still waiting to have our house done right.

[@Og-Judy]

Contractors threw their teeth huh? 😛🤣🤣 Bad enough they come through town, but toss their dental work at you?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FatherOfTheParty]

My Mom lives in Belle and she lost screens on the north side of her house and one basement window but otherwise came through okay. She's lived there a long time and knows to have her car/truck under cover during the summer.

[@ozymandias7940]

Why are all the fuel filler covers open on the cars?

[@jadeyrah]

Does anyone know what's up with the fuel tanks all being open on the cars after? Was that something intentional, or did the hail pop them open? It was so weird.

[@bogota7438]

I drove through there a few hours before this. Unbelievable! Hope no one was hurt

[@bertlynnmcmains2377]

This is the 2nd time for me, 1998 in July just like this one.. lost all the windows and siding on the west part of my house, have damage to all my autos, lost my husband’s motorcycle, but yet God got me through the storm.. still here, still South Dakota proud,

[@JohnLee-ry1ri]

Lived there as a kid in 98 I remember that nights storm vividly.

[@Unlucky1287]

I remember that storm too. I lived in Spearfish but was babysitting young kids in Belle and i was only a teenager. Was very scary. Absolutely totalled my moms car.

[@kencapps586]

Great capture of Mother Nature showing her strength...

[@hebneh]

SALE! SALE! SALE! It's the BIGGEST sale event of the decade going on right now at Scott Peterson Motors! Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford; SUVs, pick-ups, sedans and more! Almost every vehicle on the lot is REDUCED for quick sale! Come in and make us an offer! We've GOT to clear our entire premises right now - so hurry in NOW for the best selections on every one of our brand-new cars and trucks!

[@Hurricane0721]

The High Plains, the Black Hills, and the Rocky Mountain Front Range is a region that is notorious for destructive hailstorms. Destructive hailstorms happen every few years in that area. I believe that the nearby town of Spearfish had a very destructive hailstorm just a few years ago.

[@lesliebartley5695]

We were just there. Saw the menacing clouds north of us while we were in Spearfish. Prayers for everyone affected by this storm.

[@andrewmessersmithchasing3733]

Killing it as always! Rip that dealership

[@jeffbarnes54]

I think there is going to be a big shipment of hail totaled cars going to Copart !

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

Why at 1:49 did all the vehicles have the doors open to the gas tanks ?

[@robynperdieu3434]

Was that dealership in Spearfish? Passed thru Good Fork (English translation) a couple times and don't remember a dealership.

[@katiekindsfater6471]

That dealership is Scott Peterson Motors on the North West side of town here in Belle Fourche.

[@robynperdieu3434]

@@katiekindsfater6471 Thank you. Hope y'all have recovered from the storm.

[@dycorty9182]

Just now seeing this, I visited Belle Fourche DAYS after the storm, I only saw a handful of windows on a house, store, etc. I heard from locals that (allegedly) MILLIONS of windows were shattered with wait times out months for repairs, and everyone was pretty shaken. The trucks belonging of the place we were visiting (Paleo Adventures! Lovely folks!) were all completely totaled, and looked like they were hit with bats!

[@tongkatali6904]

When I look at the damage to that car lot I see a whole fleet of 50% off storm chasing vehicles

[@christineribone9351]

Other than that storm, it looks like a beautiful little town!!

[@tylerteppo1866]

It's not don't move here

[@christineribone9351]

@@tylerteppo1866 😊 I'm a West Coast girl, it would be difficult to move anywhere else. We have our catastrophes too. Your town appears clean and wholesome. But, from your comment, it sounds like there are some issues people have to contend with. I just thought I'd send a complement your way. Hope life is returning to normal over there now. Best wishes!

I lived out in Sturgis and I visited in 2006 an 2011 and took my daughter out to see her mom who lives there. 2006 my daughter lived there and her Ford focus was totaled by hail anywhere from 2 inches is 3 1/2 in diameter I counted 143 just on the top of the car that did not include windows or doors In 11 I borrowed my wife's car and went up to Deadwood South Dakota and on my way back got her car totaled by hail

[@billnason7098]

Wow that car dealership every vehicle broken windshield and dent

[@paulknightley]

Nasty stuff…good work getting behind the building for shelter

[@carolynsimmons3087]

Why are all the gas cap doors open on these vehicles?

[@Og-Judy]

Hail hitting it does that. Remember, this hail was blown sideways by 70+ mph winds . Much different than pea size just falling straight down like rainfall.

[@bean699]

We lost some windows and our garden. Even broke the tv in the bedroom that lost a window.

[@mardeethomas7773]

Camera shots are excellent.

[@StormChaserJordanHall]

Thank you

[@jessesmith888]

Did the air pressure change so much it popped all the gas caps open?

[@tinastill5850]

I live in Hot Springs. The hail was so big that the force it came with blew out everything including the gas caps. It looks like someone took a bat to my car.

[@gracesandagato3829]

Prayers for your family and friends

[@lasagnabeans4656]

You should’ve shown the houses who had their siding shredded off from the hail

[@northamericanyeti]

Baseball sized hailstones took out our windows and living room furniture. We were just talking about remodeling.

[@randallfloyd4476]

wow....live in the midwest, but i don't think i've ever seen it hail sideways.

Y'ALL GET SOME REALLY WICKED WEATHER INCLUDING SNOW.

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

Thermopolis Wyoming. We went through this 5 years ago. Heres what will happen. As insurance kicks in, hundreds of roofing shingle jobs will happen. Empty buildings will be rented for several months and PDR teams will be patiently knocking all the car dents out. We had back to back events about 3 days apart so have yourself a safe place to park now just in case.

[@ToriTippmann]

Omg this is so scary for me personally I was in Texas but tow of my sisters and one of my brothers were in that and all are windows broke unfortunately but just stay safe

[@tinastill5850]

Listen to you all. Pissed of because they used destroyed. It was a bitch of a storm and it did destroy. Just because nobody died, thank the lord above, but it did destroy many many many things. You think that big ass tree wasn't destroyed or all those vehicles your damn straight up wrong.

I’m happy that people are all worried about this, it’ll stop the Californians from moving here

[@josephalfonsoamantia7028]

Sorry. It won't stop anyone from moving to South or North dakota. Myself I don't know why anybody would want to live out there in North or South Dakota I've been to both States and they were pretty ugly. Anyway you will still get people from California moving there and from New York and the whole East Coast because people know that there isn't any safe place in the US as far as weather is concerned. I'm sorry it won't stop anyone from moving there.

Maybe you should all stop selling your houses to them? Naw, you like that green money.

[@SS-wi9bn]

Good luck getting those windows replaced. People waiting all over the country for months to get windshield, etc. replaced.

[@Og-Judy]

They only keep "x" amount in stock. They have to be manufactured beyond that. Let's says 100 Ford Focus lost windshields. They have 5- maybe 10 "in stock". That's 90 -95 that need to be made in the automotive glass company. And they're all different.

Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. 🕊️💕Live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏 I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏 Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕 We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏 Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. 💖🔥🕊️🙏 Praise God 🙏💖 Hallelujah Jesus🙏💖 In Jesus powerful name🔥🕊️ 💖🙏
