Lyon County Sheriff:
“The US National Weather Service in Sioux Falls has informed us that we expect about 2-5 more inches of rain overnight. They expect the river to crest at 25.3 ft between 7-8 am tomorrow in Rock Rapids which is just below the record of 27 ft. We expect heavy rain at around 8pm tonight and severe weather from 5-10 pm. Plans for shelter are being made and will be made available if needed. Sheriff Vander Stoep advises to use caution when traveling, but especially after 8pm. We are expecting numerous roads to go underwater during the overnight, so we are asking everyone to not travel unless necessary. If you know people who are in areas that may be at risk of flooding, please reach out to them and make sure they have an evacuation plan.”
Are we going to have any days between now and Oct. 1 that aren't humid as hell?

I've been out of town and had no idea about this.
I remember that happening a few years ago. There would be random little ponds/streams in the streets.
Was kind of eerie.
Yeah lot of comparisons to 2018. It was a quick event but right at rush hour and lot of cars ended up stranded. I remember turning onto Blair St at 5am in summer of 2008 and hitting water. That was fun.
May I ask where you've pulled these cresting predictions? Wanted to look for some other places myself.
Anyone seen these pics? Mankato Minnesota, underground garages, full of water, you can see 6” of cars. Spencer Iowa, at Morton Buildings, bundles of lumber, 2x6x10’ , just guessing carried across HWY 18& 71. Then the after dumped them in the ditch. 2000 pounds, maybe.

I live in Sioux Falls but spent a good chunk of today in Rock Rapids, IA. If the Rock nears or breaks its all time record set 10 years ago, it will be awful. They already condemned and lost a ton of houses there the last time the town flooded, but this will get some more.
And it's not just the river. All the creeks and waterways and ditches are just so, so saturated from the past few days that there's no place for the water to go. Big Sioux River was also crazy high already early this afternoon.
