Vivian residents relate tales of massive hailstorm

VIVIAN — Vivian Fire Chief Keith Patrick can deal with the holes in his roof and the broken windows in his car, because he is still alive to tell about them.
During last Friday’s violent hailstorm, all of the town’s 55 homes were damaged, and one mobile home received 25 holes in its roof. Vivian, a town of about 110 people, is located 50 miles west of Chamberlain along Interstate 90.
