The 50th anniversary of the Black Hills Flood of 1972 on June 9th is a time to honor the 238 lives lost. It also brings a flood of memories for survivors. Some of those survivors are telling their stories to SDPB’s Seth Tupper. Every week between now and the anniversary, we’ll bring you one of those stories.
This week, we hear from Kay Schriever of Rapid City. She was in a car with five other teenagers near Rapid Creek when they were hit by a flood surge. Three of the teens died, including Kay’s close friend, Gayle Nemeti. When Kay went to identify Gayle’s body at a funeral home, there were so many victims that bodies were laid on sheets in a garage.
