It was a CRAZY day of weather throughout the area.

The city of Sioux Falls is asking that Sioux Falls Not use any water overnight due to stress on cities water system. (till 5:00 a.m.)

I-29 remains closed North of Canton to the I-229-I 29 exchange south of Sioux Falls.

KDLT TV Weather man Brandon Spinner had to re rout to get back to Sioux Falls from Omaha last night.  He stated on twitter:

Made it back to Sioux Falls. Only really one route from the Beresford area. Take Exit 42 west to Wakonda, then 19 to 42

More:  No travel advised overnight in TURNER COUNTY. 

Also, we're hearing reports that Harrisburg Elementary has been hit with high water. Reports are that the gym floor will need replacing at a considerable expense.

Earlier this Monday afternoon, we took calls of a camper off a pickup in the Hartford area on I-90. A Truck with a wind Turbine Blade off the trailer near Canton. We took calls from worried listeners wondering how they were going to get home to their families tonight.
