Weather Closes Mt. Rushmore...04/21/00
 
Here's a first. The huge snowstorm in western south dakota has forced Mount Rushmore to close until Saturday.

There's no electricity and no water at the Shrine of Democracy. Thousands are still without power in several areas of western South Dakota, and could be until next week.

Power poles and trees toppled under the weight of heavy snow. More than a foot of snow on the roads is making it difficult for crews to get the outages fixed.
