SHERIDAN, Wyo. - A woman was found dead and a man was missing after a storm with hail and strong wind struck Tongue River Reservoir in southern Montana.

Park Manager Bob Peterson said the man was standing on a dock when the storm hit around 6 p.m. Wednesday. Peterson said the man was holding a rope tied to a boat and was pulled into the water when the wind picked up.

A woman who had been in a small boat by herself was reported missing around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. Searchers found the woman's body in the reservoir Thursday morning.

Divers continued searching for the missing man on Thursday.

The identities of the woman and man were not released.
