Devils Tower National Monument was closed Tuesday morning after a severe thunderstorm that brought heavy hail that swept through northeast Wyoming on Monday shattering windows and knocking down trees.
High winds and hail reportedly as large as baseballs pummeled the area for less than 30 minutes, but locals are already calling it one of the worst storms they’ve ever seen there.
“We had 20 broken windows that we’re working on right now,” said Tim Davis, the owner of Devils Tower Trading Post. “All kinds of broken trees, lots of debris, and there’s probably 6 inches (piled up) outside right now.”
Davis said he had not spoken to anyone at Devils Tower National Monument but he expects it will reopen Wednesday, if not sooner.
No one at Devils…
