And it is also the anniversary of the 1972 flood in Rapid City, SD, that killed 250+ people. See Rapid City Flood>

I survived, but so many of my neighbors did not. Don't want to provide a downer, but the heroic actions of so many that night are worth noting.

(sorry for not responding last night..my flickering power caused me to shut down early).

thank you for the article/link. I am embarrased to say I don't even recall this event. At the time I was living out of the country (for two years actually) & really did NOT have news perse. The Panamanian version of TV was My Little Margie & three stooges reruns. complete w/spanish subtitles.

I appreciate you sharing this. Amazing pix & such a loss of life & homes/businesses. I will send this out to some on my email list today.

Paddlefish? another kayaker? There are a couple of us on this thread who paddle for fun

Welcome to the discussion & dont ever think a topic is a downer. We cover a lot of bases here depending on what is going on wiht folks & who visits
