Rainfall amounts across Clay County from June 20-22 ranged from around a third of an inch across southern areas to 1 to 2 inches across northern areas. Farther north and upstream, 6 to 10 inches of rain fell across portions of southeast South Dakota, with locally higher amounts in excess of 12 inches. This rainfall resulted in record flooding along the Vermillion River and extensive overland flooding along the adjoining flood plain.||Two primary residences were impacted by flood waters across the northern portion of the county with each reporting more than three feet of water in their basements. One owner along the Vermillion River lost 100 percent of their land while countless other acres of farmland were lost in the vicinity of the river. One farmstead alone lost 60 plus acres. ||Many county and township roads across the northern portion of the county experienced flood damage ranging from gravel wash to major impacts. A couple concrete box culverts and bridges were destroyed by backup from the Vermillion River. Preliminary damage assessments estimate loss to public infrastructure to be 500 thousand dollars. ||Within the city of Vermillion, voluntary evacuations were activated near Saginaw and Missouri Streets. Cotton Park experienced extensive flood impacts, including major damage to about one mile of trail and a destroyed frisbee golf course, estimated to cost 1.5 million dollars. The Vermillion wastewater treatment plant also experienced significant damage, forcing the release of untreated water into the Vermillion River. Damage to the plant is estimated at 4.5 million dollars.||For additional information on river flooding, please see other flood entries for Clay County.
Multiple rural roads under water. Other flooding resulted in extensive damage to public infrastructure including numerous county and township roads, culverts, and some bridges.
