( CNN ) -- A tornado hit the south-central South Dakota town of Wessington Springs on Wednesday evening , briefly trapping some people in their homes . The Jerauld County Sheriff 's Office said all have been rescued . `` The tornado hit across the street from the hospital -- really just one block away -- and there is stuff and debris everywhere , '' said JoAnn Hettinger , director of patient care at Avera Weskota Memorial Hospital . Her facility received one patient , she said . In all , 11 homes and three businesses were damaged , according to Roger Dwyer , the Jerauld County emergency management director . `` The Red Cross is on scene , '' he said . `` Most of the folks ( in damaged homes ) are bunking up with friends and relatives . '' Gov . Dennis Daugaard has ordered 100 South Dakota National Guard soldiers to the community to help with recovery and cleanup , a statement from his office said . Wessington Springs is a town of about 950 people , about 100 miles northwest of Sioux Falls . On Monday , rare twin tornadoes spun through Pilger , Nebraska , wiping out the business district . As much as three-fourths of the town of 350 is gone , Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger has said . Two people died during that storm , one a 5-year-old . The second death -- a traffic accident -- was probably weather-related , Unger said . CNN 's Dana Ford , Dave Alsup and Kevin Conlon contributed to this report .
