Flash Flooding occurred in Piedmont, South Dakota from a slow-moving supercell thunderstorm on June 1, 2015.
Piedmont Chris Johnson may wear his tobacco country influences on his bluesy sleeve, but he's also an honest, gritty chronicler of life in the River City. Catch him at Harvest Sessions, presented by KDHX and The Whitaker Foundation.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Johnson pursued an MFA at the Washington University, and then moved on to a musical career which has brought him acclaim as the "Best Unfolkie Coffeehouse Folkie" and "Best Songwriter" by the Riverfront Times. His voice has a brittle, rusty edge and his guitar playing is fierce and beautiful at once.

One hundred new CWA stewards from 42 different Piedmont Airlines stations attended their first training last week.
Over the course of four days, stewards each attended a day-long training class in Charlotte, where they learned more about the new contract, which went into effect on Monday, and their new role in the workplace. They focused on how to solve problems, union building and signing up coworkers. There are 3,700 CWA-represented agents at Piedmont Airlines.
The group included one employee who was hired just nine months ago, but also agents who have spent the last decade fighting for a union voice. Agents flew in from as far as Arizona and New Mexico.
The training was led by Kate Shaughnessy, CWA education staff representative; Jimmy Tarlau, assistant to the vice president for District 2-13; and Abdur Bilal, a Piedmont agent and longtime activist who helped organize the agents.
"It was quite exhausting ā 6 hours a day for 4 days ā but I must say it is some of the most rewarding work that I've been involved in doing movement work over the last forty years," said Tarlau.
This park is gorgeous, and enormous--it's wonderful to have such a huge amount of greenspace in the middle of such a bustling city. I love that Atlanta's set up in such a way that it's completely possible to have these safe havens in the middle of such a metropolitan area. Georgia Tech's campus has a similar oasis-like feel to it.
