GREAT FALLS, Mont. - On Tuesday, a severe thunderstorm in Blaine County resulted in a weak tornado and golf ball-sized hail.Â
The National Weather Service in Great Falls reported minor damage to vehicles from the hail, but no property damage was done by the tornado.
On Thursday, the severe weather warning continues as all the right ingredients for a tornado are present. Those elements include upward wind, mugginess and moisture.
Warning Coordination Meteorologist Robert Hart warns people to stay safe and have a plan prepared, not just for humans, but for livestock as well.
âBut there are instances of cattle and livestock who suffer significant injuries and even deaths because they are out on the open ranch land with no shelter and they get these big hail storms that hit them and it s like getting hit by a baseball, Hart said.
