Grand Forks Part II

[Grr]

it did crest, the water is dropping slowly, most of the water in the country has dropped considerably. In fact, it has dropped enough that we should be able to hold a good 2" of rain with no problems.

based on this: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=fgf&gage=wfon8&view=1,1,1,1,1,1&toggles=10,7,8,2,9,15,6&type=0

I'll be on an island before I wake up tomorrow. The houses in our neighborhood will become islands between 21 and 22 feet.

Dajkelvis, you going to need help tomorrow??? if you do shoot me a pm and ill head out there tomorrow. i know where you live, i have a friend who's parents live in the blue house to the north west from you.

Thanks, but I think we'll be fine. Our house is the highest in the development and our basement is only 4 feet into the ground. We've got all of our basement windows and our garage diked up to the height of the main level. If it gets that high and we get water on the main level we never had a chance to begin with. How the hell did you reach for the r and hit j while typing my name, those are pretty far apart and look and sound nothing alike.

The homes to the north are in danger (outside of the diversion). Diversion ends just north of 12th ave, there are developments north of it. (i'm on 16th). suppose they are going to plow amber valley parkway before june now?

As far as my area the ice/snow has SLOOOOOOOWED the sheyenne, my ditches/the river aren't up much more than they were last night when I went to bed.

Just called my dad to see where the level is at. He is out where the Wild Rice hits the Red. They are usually about 12 hours ahead of Fargo. It is at the base of his flood barrier right now. That puts the Red out there at approx. 38.5' They just announced Fargo is at 34.74'

Go to this map and then select Peak Flood forecast on the left........ A lot of Ponding showing now.
