PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Water releases from dams on the Missouri
River continue to drop, but South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard says
people shouldn't get complacent.
Daugaard says the river will continue to fall, but it will
remain out of its banks through August and possibly longer. He says
emergency levees are still subject to failure.
The governor says he knows that people who have been displaced
by floodwaters this summer are anxious to get back home and begin
cleaning up and getting their lives back to normal, but he urges
patience for a while longer.
