Heavy Rains Lead to Flash Flooding in Western South Dakota

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Heavy weekend rains have led to some flash flooding in western South Dakota.

The flooding prompted officials to close a few roads in Rapid City, and water submerged parts of a bike path.

Emergency officials are cautioning people to stay away from the edges of swollen rivers and creeks and to not walk or drive across moving water.

The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and warnings for the region.
