Flood
Well, it's here. Flood time.
As of now, my town has shut off water and pumps are running to try to get the water out of town. I have over 2' of water in my back yard, and it's still raining. As well there is still a huge snowdrift in my back yard. Luckily, my house is built up pretty well, so I *hope* it should be ok. But I have a garage in my back yard, and that has a foot of water in it already. The Red River is expected to crest at 41+ feet... by Friday. FYI, the "great flood" of '97, claimed to be a "100 year flood", the Red crested at a mere 39.5'. What the hell! How can we get higher water than the 100 year flood in only 12 years!!!! I hope we can save our town... biggest prob is all the culverts are frozen, so to get it to move anywhere, it has to be pumped, and there are only so many pumps. |
