Today (Sunday) like many other Sioux Falls residents and visitors, we stopped at The Falls to see the rush of water cascading down the Sioux River that usually meanders through the city of Sioux Falls. From Saturday to Saturday we have emptied about 12 inches of rain, 8 of which fell Thursday through Saturday.
The first two photos were posted on Facebook by the Tea Area Storm Chasers with photo credit to Erik Burns.

so much visible debris as the water recedes
a lower level observation platform still under water and closed
this photo is for comparison to a previous photo from May 5, 2020
the blue lego caught my eye as I walked to the pedestrian bridge
notice all the branches along the side of the
observation platform
The following photos are from May 5, 2020 when friends (Jon & Sherry) stopped in Sioux Falls on their way to northern MN.
