Record-breaking floods force evacuations on South Dakota reservation
Record-breaking flooding has forced dozens of people on a South Dakota reservation to evacuate and ranchers were working Thursday 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 8-mile (12.8km) 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. The tribe has asked others to voluntarily evacuate.
Bald Eagle said no injuries have been reported but some residents are refusing to leave because their cattle are trapped by flooding.
“Everybody is afraid that their livelihoods are going to be swept up by the water, obviously,” Bald Eagle said. “It is really a critical time for the livestock folks because right now their cattle are all calving.”
