Family that lost home to flooded river vows to keep store open as floodwaters devastate Midwest

As floodwaters continue to ravage the Midwest, a Minnesota family that watched their home collapse into a swollen river near an at risk dam is vowing to reopen their nearby store. The Rapidan Dam Store remained standing Wednesday but the house where its owners grew up toppled into the Blue Earth River the day before. Their destroyed home is one of hundreds damaged and consumed so far by floodwaters in parts of South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. Torrential rains last week led to the deluge. In the coming days, Nebraska and northwestern Missouri are expected to start to see the downstream effects of the flooding.
