What the National Weather Service wrote

Several large tree limbs were downed around South Sioux City, some on top of vehicles or residential structures.

The wider storm

A progressive cluster of thunderstorms developed across south central South Dakota in response to a weak mid-level wave drifting out of western South Dakota. A slight increase in the low-level jet brought deep-layer shear to 35-40 knots, and MUCAPE around 2000 J/kg provided fuel for storms to strengthen and congeal into a bowing structure which traversed to the east-southeast. The strongest storms produced damaging winds generally from 60 to 80 mph.

Began near South Sioux City (42.4700, -96.4100).
