Homes Flooded in North Dakota after Torrential Rains

Torrential rains led to weekend flooding in parts of North Dakota, inundating or threatening more than a dozen homes in the west and causing at least two injuries in the east. Many areas of the state got several inches of rain on Aug. 15 and 16, leading to flash flooding. National Weather Service reports show that southwestern North Dakota got as much as 10 1/2 inches of rain. Dickinson set a city record for the date on Aug. 15, with 1.85 inches of rain, according to the weather service. That broke the Dickinson record of 0.87 inches set in 1981. More than 15 homes in Dunn County were affected when the Knife River overflowed.
