(North Sioux City, SD) — South Dakotans in the McCook Lake area are not happy with the communication from officials over their flood response. Several homes and streets nearby have been devastated since this past weekend. Residents and homeowners were able to meet with the Union County Emergency Manager Jason Westcott yesterday, upset that it was the first time they had heard anything from him. According to many folks, they canceled their flood insurance years ago after officials moved McCook Lake homes out of the flood plain. All residents around the area are being told to leave after engineers found air pockets under North Shore Drive and have concerns about the entire street collapsing.
