| Episode Narrative |
Flooding of lakes and lowlands in several counties in southeast South Dakota continued through April. The flooding included farmland and other lowlands, with some roads flooded and damaged. High water and groundwater levels resulting from record precipitation in the previous year contributed to the slowness of any improvement in the flooding situation. |
| Event Narrative |
Flooding of lakes and lowlands, including farmland, continued in the county through April. While flooding of small streams abated, lake flooding, particularly of Lakes Thompson and Henry, worsened. Numerous roads remained flooded and several were closed. Several homes were flooded, especially along Lake Thompson. High water and groundwater levels resulting from record precipitation in the previous year was the main reason that the flooding either grew worse or improved so slowly. |
