These storms are hitting Sioux Falls area now. People should take shelter and be weather aware.

[NWS Sioux Falls @NWSSiouxFalls]

These severe storms continue to march eastwards and will move into the I-29 corridor along and south of Sioux Falls in about 20 minutes!

Damaging winds up to 80 mph are expected with this storm south of Sioux Falls!

However, Sioux Falls will still see strong winds!

In South Dakota, we don't build for the moment. We build for the future. We build to last.

I'm running for Governor to keep South Dakota strong, free, and Built to Last.

[Larry Rhoden @LarryRhodenSD]

In South Dakota, we build for the future — we build to last.

I’m running for a full term as Governor. I will remain focused on keeping our state strong, safe, and free — on doing the people’s work. Because when I’m working, South Dakota’s winning.

[Governor Larry Rhoden @GovLarryRhoden]

South Dakota's sheriffs support the need for a new prison:

"County jails are increasingly forced to house individuals sentenced to the state, filling local beds that are already in short supply—at county expense. We urge our legislators to support the recommendations made by the Prison Reset Task Force at their upcoming special session and move forward with construction of the new prison."

[Governor Larry Rhoden @GovLarryRhoden]

Our police officers are on the frontlines protecting South Dakotans from crime, and Chiefs of Police have the backs of their law enforcement officers. For that reason, the endorsement of the South Dakota Police Chiefs' Association for the new prison bears particular significance:

“Our first duty is the safety of our communities. South Dakota needs a secure, modern, and humane facility that keeps our communities safe, protects staff, treats those in custody with dignity, and supports rehabilitation where possible.”

[Governor Larry Rhoden @GovLarryRhoden]

We just had the largest meth bust in @SDHighwayPatrol history — 207 pounds of meth with a street value of $12 million — and the criminal was a non-citizen who is now in immigration proceedings.

I promised that my administration would keep South Dakota strong, safe, and free – and we will continue to deliver on that promise through Operation: Prairie Thunder.

[Governor Larry Rhoden @GovLarryRhoden]

We are monitoring the storms across parts of the state, including the tornado near Watertown. Stay alert, and follow #sdwx for up-to-the-minute updates.

I visited our South Dakota National Guard at the Southern Border. They’re supporting Border Patrol and the Trump Administration’s work to keep America safe.

I have been working closely with @Sec_Rollins behind the scenes to achieve this result and deliver fairness for the Maude family.

I’ll be joining her and the Maudes in Washington on Wednesday morning to celebrate this fantastic news!
