Turns out I was watching the South Dakota National Guard rolling into town just hours or days after the flood! To help with survivors & the clean-up of the affected area! I really didn't know what was happening at the time (because of my age)! But I found out years later in school just what I had witnessed! I lost my cousin Charles Young 2 yrs old!

Text Any textual data included in the document THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE: HARNEY PEAK RANCH: RAPID VALLEY I spent the night of June 8th and the morning of June 9th, 1972 at Harney Peak Ranch Headquarters. It is on the east edge of Rapid City and located hard against Rapid Creek. I, and the historic legacy of founder James Wood's 1870s Harney Peak Ranch Headquarters, survived for one very unique reason: It is located on the mile-wide delta of fertile topsoil washed from the Black Hills in geologic times. This delta may be the widest floodplain point on Rapid Creek. In fact, the 1972 flood waters were close to one mile wide at the point on the night of June 8, 1972. And, this is the reason I survived. It was also, as a result, the shallowest depth of the flooding that occured here. Two key factors create this unique situation. Rapid Creek cut a deep, mostly straight channel down through the center of that black topsoil. Some of the Harney Peak Ranch buildings from the 1800s and early 1900s are just a few feet from that main channel. That would not have saved the ranch and me without one other key factor. And that is the wide, meandering channel of Rapid Creek in Rapid Valley that still survives south of the ranch headquarters. It is known as the "Slough". This wide, meandering slough took a great deal of the 1972 flood water. Rapid Creek is north of Harney Peak Ranch and this wide slough is to the south. As a result, I spent the night of the 1972 Flood on an island with only shallow water depth. The old, original 1879 pioneer James Wood's Ranch barn and house just west of the "new" 1890s or Twentieth Century building experienced very little water. The water depth at the "New" Barn wet only to the floor line. It was dry inside. The water depth at the "New" Harney Peak Ranch Main House was up to the top of the foundation: about two feet deep. I spent the night trying to get as much equipment as possible up out of the water and trying to get what I could out of the Ranch House basement. The great grace of the 1972 Flood night was that the Harney Peak Ranch Founation Quarter Horses survived as well. The story of that is the essence of animal wisdom. Th horse herd mares circled around the younger horses with their strong rear flanks upstream. They stood like that all through the long night belly deep in the flood water. But, their great insinct saved the whole foundation-bred herd that is still our great legacy today. They keep us mounted still. The waters receded in that wide delta fairly quickly the next day. We lived because of ancient patterns that kept us all alive. The one other grace was that I was completely unaware of the death and destruction passing by me that night from Rapid City.

A sister of a friend arrived at our house about midnight. They had walked over the hill but couldn't get home. Dad woke me to see if they could stay with us. "Sure it's flooding and she can't get home." The rest of the night we sat at the counter with the phone receiver to our ear waiting for a dial tone. About 0300 Dad said he was going up the "H2O hill" to see what he could see from a higher spot. While he was gone the buzz on the phone quit. I was surprised and blew into the phone receiver. A surprised voice on the other end said "Hello." As surprised I replied "Hello." The caller said "Is Mr. Kuehn there. This is from Minneapolis Star Tribune. We've been trying to reach Mr. Cannon and can't. (They were in their attic). We've heard there's a flood and are trying to decide if we should send a reporter in the morning?" I said "Yes I have people sitting here who saw people die in a parking lot 3 blocks from the creek (Safeway parking lot). Therefore I "dispatched the Minneapolis Star Tribune" to come cover the flood.

It was nearly knee-deep when, with our three sons, we were able to drive across the front yard in a four-wheel drive to higher ground. Got through the Gap ahead of the high water. Put the family including the dog to bed on the 7th floor of the Alex Johnson (thanks to the hospitality of J. Vucurevich who owned the A.J. at the time). Power was out so climbed the stairs by candlelight (candles came from the restaurant - The Carousel). I (Dick) spent the night cruising the area still above water downtown. Drove up Skyline Drive and spent an hour observing what was happening both sides of "The Gap," while electric sub-stations exploded below. Drove a couple of injured people, who showed up at A.J., to the hospital. By morning's light the scene was very eerie-murky, smelly, "other-worldly" with devastation everywhere as seen in thousands of photos. Managed to find a way through the blocked streets to our house which had a high water mark inside at 3 ft. above floor level. Lost everything except a few items left on beds (the mattresses floated and kept their "cargo" high and dry.)

LTC Don Wickler, USAF (RET), Jackson, MN and Margaret Miller Wickler, Volga, SD, Married on 20 March 1948. In the process of transferring from Elmendorff AFB, AK to Ellsworth AFB, SD we arrived back in South Dakota in early June ’72 leaving our two children, Dan and Tim, with grandparents in Volga. We arrived in Rapid City on 7 June and occupied guest quarters at the air base. With mandatory retirement in the near future and a decision to remain in Rapid City, we spent June 8 with a realtor shopping for a single family dwelling. I purchased a pre-owned Volkswagon at 9 AM the morning of the 9th of June. At 7:30 PM of the 9th, we were visiting Dottey Moe, wife of Bill Moe, Huron, SD, graduate Pharmic, SDSU Class of ’50. Also a USAF Lt. Colonel (Ret), a tanker pilot, and employed as a pharmic at the local hospital. He was at work and not due home until 9 PM. It was raining “cats and dogs”! When Bill arrived at their home just to the west of Meadowbrook Golf Course, water was entering the finished basement. Bill and I proceeded to move possessions off the basement floor. At about 9:30PM, the girls called down to report that our cars (my VW and Bill’s new Ford Pinto), parked on the street, were floating away. Only a few minutes after leaving the basement, the concrete block wall on the west of the residence collapsed inward and inundated the basement. Our group of four climbed on to the roof and watched as the neighbor’s house next door moved off the foundation and into the street. Bill’s garaged Cadillac was in 3.5-4ft of water. His streetside mail box was not quite in the water. We spent perhaps one hour on the roof and could see lights on in the dwelling to the south at somewhat a higher elevation. We trudged up the hill in ankle deep water and were uninvited but welcome guests at the home of the Mr. and Mrs. Pelky (sp?). . . perhaps thirty souls in the living room from midnight until first light on 10 June. Early that morning, we were rescued by the Army National Guard from Camp Rapid, jeeped to the guard camp for coffee and donuts and then to our quarters at the air base. (Note: Bill Moe passed away perhaps 15 years ago. He had given up smoking cigarettes but on the night of 9 June, decided to give it another try!)

Text Any textual data included in the document My name is Donna Parks and I want to say that we did not live in the flood area, but like almost everyone in Rapid City, we worried about family members and friends. On that day, my father, Delbert Harbaugh, was a patient at the Bennett-Clarkson Hospital, on the top floor. He had been sedated, but was awakened in the night by a nurse, who wanted to borrow his battery-powered radio, which he had by his bedside. He said she could use it, then turned over and went back to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he saw outside his west window what looked like a lake with people in boats moving about. He thought he was seeing things, hallucinating, because he knew he should be seeing flower beds and grass. But what he saw was real. That nurse was very observant to remember that radio on Dad's bedside table. It was the only way the staff could find out what was going on. Later that day, he went home a bit earlier than planned.

Text Any textual data included in the document Memory Added: October 31, 2011 Location of Memory: Ellsworth Airforce Base/Rapid City While I had no direct involvement with the flood of Rapid City in June of 1972, I remember the worried look on my mom’s face through the morning of the 10th, as my dad wasn’t home from a fishing trip to Lake Pactola that had embarked on the evening of the 9th. My dad was in the Air Force and we actually lived on Ellsworth AFB. He had been stationed there the summer before and he had orders to leave the following month. Since we only lived there one year most of my memories of Rapid City are sketchy at best. What I remember about June 9th was that it was a sunshiny Friday for most of the day. My dad came home from work early preparing for a fishing trip that evening, something he had done with his friends from work for several Fridays before. He had taken me on occasion, and I begged him to take me that night, but he did not allow me to go that time. I had been attending vacation bible school with a friend that week at a church in Rapid City and since I didn’t get to go fishing I went to VBS for the evening. I cannot recall the name of that church but I remember that it was on a hill with a balcony or porch overlooking part of the city. As services were over for the evening, I went out on the balcony and a heavy sprinkle had started so I thought great, we are going to have rain this weekend. I looked out over the landscape and I remember thinking how pretty the lights of the city looked in the darkness and the rain. It’s an image I remember vividly to this day, obviously not realizing at that moment that a terrible chain of events was about to unfold. The trip home from the church was uneventful except that it was raining a little harder. Sometime Friday evening on the radio we heard about the flood and that Canyon Lake dam broke and that authorities were worried that Lake Pactola Dam would break. There wasn’t anything we could do at that point, so my mom told me it was time to go to bed. It was gloomy, cloudy and raining when I awoke on Saturday morning. I got up and my dad still wasn’t home and my mom was up listening to the radio. It was obvious that she didn’t get much sleep. I asked if she knew where dad was, and she said that she didn’t know. We sat there listening to the news reports of what had happened and was relieved to hear that Pactola Dam was still standing. I remember conflicting reports of the number of dead and that authorities were asking the public for boats with more than 35 horsepower to help in rescue operations. I heard reports of several other cities flooding, including Box Elder where two of my classmates and friends lived. The day wore on into the afternoon and at about 4 pm, my dad pulled up into the driveway. It is hard to explain the relief we felt. He was worn out from his night of adventure and it showed. He had stories of the events that he lived through but these days I just remember how he said that they kept going for higher ground. He was in his car following one of his friends in a pickup truck and there were places that were flooded that the pickup went through that my dad was afraid to follow in his car, but he did it anyway. At one point he could look out his window see down over one side of a hill, while water was coming at him from the other side and he knew if he kept moving he would not be swept over. He also said that one of the guys he was with managed to call his wife and she was supposed to relay the message to my mom, but that call never came. I don’t know how he eventually made it home, I just know how lucky he was. That may not have been the case had I gone with him. I’m sure it took a lot of concentration on his part to survive and I would have been a big distraction. He and his friends went fishing again the following Friday, and I got to go this time. We drove around Rapid City surveying the damage while he and his friends relived what had happened. I remember the trees, limbs and cars stacked up in places and houses wiped away. That was quite a lot for a 13 year old to take in. As I said, we only lived there for one year, so by mid-July, we moved to Michigan. It wasn’t until years later when I found one of my friends on a popular high school reunion web site that I knew that she had made it through the flood. I still to this day have not heard about the other one. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dad was at his office finishing things up, mom was cleaning house and my sister was doing nothing as always. You see we were going to drive to California and go to Disneyland June 10. So at the age of 8 I really didn't understand why we could not still go to Disneyland. Things people might not understand but back then during summer you sometimes didn't see your school friends all summer for whatever reason. Based on your neighborhood. So one thing that happened is you went back to school in September and that is when you found out some of your school friends passed. I only knew the little girl in school and always had fun but I didn't find out she was swept from her mom's arms until that September. It crushed me. Patricia Hope Dieter RIP.

I was a city employee at the time and was asked to dive at the Rapid City Water Treatment Plant to unplug the large pumps in the sump room.These pumps sucked water from Rapid Creek to supply Rapid City with potable water, and were continually plugging up from all the debris.This required 8 –10 hour days for several weeks diving in zero visibility water to keep the pumps running. It brought back memories when I saw my picture on the Rapid City Library web site under the “Then and Now” pictures by Keith Johnson.

Being a member of the Rapid City Scuba Diving Club, I offered to search for bodies. One memory that I will never forget was behind the Osheim Funeral Home. There was a sunken car which I checked for bodies. Luckily none were found. the funeral home was overwhelmed as they had to use their garage floor to receive the bodies. There were a dozen or more laying on the floor. I'll never forget seeing a deceased lady with her hair still in curlers. They had a large water truck on hand that they were using to wash the bodies. they also used it to wash the mud off of me and my equipment. The city was struggling to keep the water treatment plant operating as the flood had washed away their screening on the Rapid Creek side that prevented debris from getting into the water treatment plant. The result was debris plugging up their three sump pumps in the pump room. Craig Langerman and myself were asked to dive into the sump room and clean the debris from the screens around the pumps. This turned into a full time job. The would turn off one of the pumps at a time so we could safely clear the debris. This was a challenge as there was zero visibility and we had to do everything by feel. During this time we wore holes in our wet suits and plugged up our regulators. We worked 8-10 hours a day for several weeks after the flood, and after that we were still on call for several weeks. It was a gratifying feeling that we were able to help.

We knew that there was a storm but not how bad. We woke up the next morning and heard about the flood. My grandmother lived on 101 New York Street which was right on an irrigation ditch leading from Rapid Creek. My mother loaded us in the car and drove like crazy down the hill. We were stopped before we got to the railroad underpass. Mom was crying and screaming - we could see the horrible sight in front of us. We didn't know what to do. All of sudden we heard a voice. It was my Grandmother, Stella Bausch. She had spent the night on the second floor lighting matches. She was rescued by people in a boat and she insisted on going to a motel since she didn't want to worry us. How she found us at that moment could never be explained. Her house was lifted completely off the foundation but somehow sat back down in place. We spent many many hours cleaning out and repairing. I remember my grandmother coming up from the basement with her dead cat in her hands - crying hard. She stood there and just held her. A few minutes later we heard a meow. Picking her way across the debris was her other cat - safe and sound. In the end, her house was condemned for the green belt.

I experienced the floods of 1952 and 1962, my father carried us on his back in 1952 to get us out of water waist deep on him. I was not in Rapid City in June of 1972, I was in Iowa, only my youngest brother was here, it took days to find out he was alive, no phone service into the state. I listened at my ex brother-in-law's house to the "6 O'Clock net" on the Ham radio, about the electric lines down in the streets, they needed portable generators, I came back to the flood plain in the fall of 1972, my parents were still in their house but not for long, the golf course is where my house was, and only the trees remain. But I was a lucky one, the man who is my husband now lost his mother and stepfather, he had to go around to makeshift morgues looking for them, he and his 18 year old half brother, no brothers should have to do such an awful thing. If the parents had stayed home they would have lived, but they worked as night cleaners at Meadwood Lanes in West Rapid, the wall of water caught them as they crossed Rapid Creek about where McDonalds is now. They all were the sacrifice for what we have and we must never forget them. The old and the very young too, all were the sacrifice, and we must never let that have been in vain, we must remember.

Text Any textual data included in the document My story is about those of us who were from Rapid City but were not here when Rapid City needed us. My childhood home was in the Flood. I was in Iowa, our neighbors told us about the flood and we didn't believe it of course. I went that night to my x brother in laws house to listen to the six o'clock Ham Radio Net, and heard that there were live wires in the streets and they needed generators. My parents had gone to Salt Lake City and left my brother alone at home, he was just out of High School. My sister was in Pierre and my other brother in Littleton CO. WE couldn't get a telephone line in to SD to find out how our brother was for days. When I heard that the Canyon Lake Dam had gone out I knew our house was flooded, we lived on Western Ave, with the old Creek channel in our back yard. That in two other floods had filled with water and forced us out of our house. Eventually my father bought the house back from the City and tore it down himself and took some of the pieces to Rapid Valley where he and my mother built a new house. When I came back to Rapid City in October of 1972 they were still living in the house and it was in very good shape. The books had been cleaned as much as they could be. We still have flood books and pictures in our possession. Many people came and helped clean the house up in June and July. What I remembered was that all the houses that had been in our neighborhood were gone, there were not birds it was so quiet. My brother was find, he had taken one of the cars and gone to family in North Rapid, one of our cars was found front down in the old swimming pool next door. They built the golf course where my house was our side of Western Ave was in the Flood Plain, the other side was not, odd I still think. I sometimes say that if the Trees could talk they would say they remember the Barnes children, it is all there is left of my childhood.

My aunt Ellen and uncle Millard frequently took me on trips to Rapid City to go to the Daisy Dell restaurant, visit Reptile Gardens, etc. On June 9, I remember being in their Jeep Wagoneer at Baken Park in Rapid at about 4:00 p.m. It was already raining very hard and I remember that Aunt Ellen said "We better get out of here". We started driving toward Lead and planned to go up Boulder Canyon to get home. However, it was raining so hard that Uncle Millard decided to stop in Sturgis instead. We pulled in to the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly with the intent of waiting out the storm. As we were waiting, we watched from the car as the stock boys of the Piggly Wiggly started putting 50 lb sacks of flour and rice in front of the doors to try to stop the water from entering the store. After about 30 minutes, one of the stock boys came out and asked if we needed help. It was raining so hard it was obvious we weren't going to be able to get to Lead. The stock boy offered to let us stay at his family's nearby house overnight. He gave us directions and we slowly drove to this house, not knowing anyone inside. The people in that house offered us a place to sleep and food to eat. After the grocery store closed, the stock boy walked home through the flooded streets and had a very close call. The street flooding had knocked the manhole cover off the sewer in the middle of the road. Not knowing it was missing, he stepped right into the hole and just caught himself with his elbows before being swept inside the sewer. I've never known the name of the stock boy or his family who helped us that night. I'm extremely grateful today for the generosity and kindness. As we were eating breakfast at their home on the morning of June 10, I vividly remember listening to the radio and the horrible news about what had happened in the flood the night before. My condolences to the victim's families. Eric Cowan Shorewood, MN Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
