I was packing the car with suitcases, pillows, coolers, activity book. 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. Only knew you for one school year but I remember you for 43 years.

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.

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.

Donald and Margaret Wickler:
Memories from the 1972 Rapid City Flood.
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!)

Escaped our house just ahead of the deepest waters. 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.)

I have so many memories of June 9, 1972 and the days following. 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.
