Flood waters around the South Dakota capital of Pierre are rising and they're about to get much higher. The dams along the Missouri River can't hold back a massive surge of water spurred by record rains in Montana.

The Army Corps of Engineers is about to open those dams to record flows. Residents are hoping that temporary levees will keep them from loosing their homes and businesses.
