Just thank god a 500 year flood didnt come this year.I think this was a 500 year flood. I know my mother is in the 500 year plain, actually at the very end of it, and our neighborhood was supposed to have water at right about 41ft(if there were no levees of course), which is easily in the 500 year plain that FEMA has given us in '97 as well as this year.

Which is why everyone North of 94, south of main, and west of 8th got a code red call. The river entered a stage where we would be flooded if it werent for levees.

sheyenne just broke loose north of west fargo again...time to go park on the highway again.I think it is going to get worse too. Have you looked at upstream levels. Maybe not, more might start shooting to the Wild Rice..
Where are you at? Just North of the WF shop on east side??

I drove out to Bismarck and back today and the water is so close to the bridge as you go over the river on i94 in valley city. I have never seen it like that before.

I remember in 97' the intersection at 17 and 20 being under then N to Harwood. Cannot recall water being on 17 down there though.The water was still over 17 and 20 until tuesday...I haven't been down there tonight though, I'm assuming it's back over again. Talking to the neighbors that were here in 97 they have all said that there is a spot on 17 right in front of the house that is south of mine that the water went over by about 6 inches for a few days (holy long, run on, doesn't make any sense sentence).

It looks like it is raising an inch an hour right now.
I like how it has allready surpassed the 10% chance projected.
Plus it will probably be at the projected crest in about 5 hours that they though was going to hit on the 14th.
Wow.
