Sioux Falls news station KDLT is canceling its Thursday evening and Friday morning broadcasts as flood waters have made getting into the station unsafe.

"We're surrounded by water," general manager Katie Haffeman said. "We can't get staff in and out of the building ... it's not safe."

The NBC affiliate's station is located on South Westport Avenue, which is currently blocked between 41st and 49th streets because of flooded roads.

Due to the danger of getting into the building, the station decided to cancel Thursday's 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows, along with Friday's morning show. Anchors and reporters are working in the field, while a few employees hold down the fort inside the studio, Haffeman said.

"We're going to continue ... coverage on social media," she said.

Haffeman herself managed to get inside the building thanks to a pair of hip waders, but said it is not safe to bring so many employees into a building with a half-underwater parking lot.
