So...If the homes near the sheyenne diversion are in danger, where does that put Amber Valley parkway? It's not that far away. That and the overland has me thinking.

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.

Ya talked to a Mcdonalds store in Fargo this morning (I work for "corp" mcdonalds) anyways and she said she lived right by the river and is kicking her self for not having flood insurance. :icon_scratch: Why would you not have flood insurance if you lived by the river in this area, kinda dumb if you ask me

Now i am just a dry side resident, but i thought you were required to carry flood insurance if you were within a set flood plain?

No.

A lot of people do not have flood insurance.
