A Beadle County South Dakota well acts as a weather indicator with water turning inky and emitting a faint sulfur smell before storms or high winds. The 60 foot deep covered well with 30 feet of water and an iron pump may reflect earthborn storm precursors, prompting thoughts on earth processes driving wind and weather. Other nearby wells show similar though milder changes. Could pump presence influence the phenomenon before storms.
