SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- Parts of Louise Avenue near the Empire Mall flash flooded Sunday afternoon from a sudden downpour, but city officials say it would have been worse.
They say It would have been worse without one point six million dollars in drainage improvements in last year's big reconstruction project.
City engineer Lance Weatherly says still more drainage improvements are planned.
