South Dakota Public Broadcasting will begin taping this June for a documentary on the 1972 Flood to be aired on the 40th anniversary next year.
If you lived in Rapid City during the flood and are willing to tell your story, SDPB wants to interview you. According to reporter Charles Michael Ray, the video documentary will also examine new USGS information on the major floods of Rapid Creek in the past 2000 years. The piece will also delve into current development issues in the greenway and broader flood plain.
