Grand Forks Part II

[STiSchucky]

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.

I didnt think 40.8 was 500 year flood depth...but maybe I am wrong.

In all honesty, who even knows lol. That 100year and 500 year crap is worthless in the grand scheme of things without elevation.

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??

My house.

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.

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.

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).

Holy crap you are right.

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.

I am getting a little worried about the Sheyenne pushing over into the Wild Rice. Once the Wild Rice fills, is it going to start pushing north towards Fargo like it did in 97'???

[dubbsy]

little worried seeing the river bottom out around 31.5' in Fargo...

Oh well, here we go again.

[darkelvis]

my street is covered...I wouldn't be able to get my car to the highway now...glad I moved it 2 hrs ago. This is coming MUCH faster than it did a 2 (?) weeks ago.

[XJHEAD]

I just looked at all the river levels coming into the FM area, they are all jumping pretty good minus the Red.
