Another school year is just about done in South Dakota. Summer break is looming with all it's college prep, jobs, and just enjoying the few weeks of break between school years.

And many "mobile-homers" have chased stray cats, skunks, and an entire family of badgers from under the home. Tornados are not friendly to mobile home parks. Most parks have a shelter nearby to use if the weather is threatening.
