Large hail driven by strong winds damaged virtually every home in a Wyoming town Wednesday evening, prompting help from the Wyoming National Guard.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported around 500 homes were damaged in the town of Pine Bluffs, about 40 miles east of Cheyenne near the Nebraska state line.
"It looks like the storm was a direct hit on every structure in town," Director of Wyoming Homeland Security Guy Cameron told The Wyoming Tribune Eagle Thursday. "There is virtually visible damage everywhere."
