Exploring the impacts of more frequent flooding

On today's show...

Flash flooding and frequent rainfall has drenched the northeast corner of the state. We check in on the region after South Dakotans received another round of storms this week.

Kelly Serr is a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Aberdeen (1:10-8:50).

We then look back at a record-breaking flooding event that hit the southeast last year. Jason Westcott is the director of emergency management for Union County.

He discusses lessons learned from the McCook Lake June 2024 flood and why some residents are still recovering (8:50-27:32).

Plus, two insurance agents talk about what you should know about your homeowners insurance, and they stress the importance of opening your mail.

Derek Washington and Scott Tyler are with Wilcoxon Insurance in Sioux Falls (27:32-49:04).
