Record-breaking flooding has forced dozens of people on a South Dakota reservation to evacuate, and ranchers were working March 28 to get their livestock to higher ground while waiting for a river to crest.
High water from the Moreau River is threatening about 50 residences in an eight-mile stretch between White Horse and Thomas in north-central South Dakota, said Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe spokesman Remi Bald Eagle. He said about half a dozen people were rescued by helicopter; no injuries have been reported.
