Crazy Hail Storm in South Dakota

Update 12:01 AM Monday, NYC time: Many more pictures and better video posted here.

We chased it for nearly five hours.

We finally gave in and let it hit us (this is preliminary video from my still camera, I'll post MUCH better video from my camcorder and more photos when I get home late Sunday night):
