As releases from Gavins Point Dam west of Yankton increased to 160,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) Thursday, so did the level of misery inflicted on property owners downstream from the structure.

“There are several more homes in the Larson’s Landing and Riverside Acres areas that are being threatened by water or have water against them,” said Lee Rettig, the public information officer for the Yankton County Office of Emergency Management. “We also expect more people in Riverside Acres will start seeing water in their basements.”
