SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Some residents of Sioux Falls are cleaning their basements after torrential rains caused flash flooding last week.
Susie Brude (BROO’-dee) spent the weekend sorting through water-soaked pictures. She’s deciding which photos to save after they were covered in mud when nearly eight feet of water filled her basement.
Brude’s husband, Thom, is taking out the damaged items. The family has lived for 19 years in the house, and Thom Brude tells KELO-TV (https://bit.ly/1MWn3og ) the loss “didn’t really hit until today.”
A few blocks away, Deanna Poppen was sorting through soaked items in her basement. She says she was doing fine until her sump pump stopped working.
The storms late Thursday dumped more than half a foot of rain in parts of Sioux Falls, inundating basements and stranding dozens of motorists.
