Grand Forks Part II
-
the problem is that there is a lot of snow in the valley, gonna melt a lil today from the sun. than melt tomorrow from being warmer and sunny. but we are suppossed to get more snow monday and tuesday followed by 38-42 degree weather wed thurs and fri... not a good thing...
-
I give up.
You guys, even if we get all this snow, its not going to effect the crest.
In 97 we had a RAIN/Freezing rain storm which is the reason why there was a 3 foot spike in the crest.
I'd be hella surprised if this fucker reaches just 41.5 feet, none the less 43. Its all common sense.

:icon_rr:Please dont quote me on the flooding part. Im just talkin about the top crest in general. If a dike breaks, I dont want to be held accountable.

lol, no I wouldn't hold you accountable to the flood. Based on the amount of water (and snow waiting to melt) out west waiting to enter the river, the warm weather and snow melting (even now) plus the possible 12" of snow coming in a couple days PLUS warm weather after that....
It just seems nothing is going our way, I'm expecting the worse.

We had to get 120 inches of snow in 97 to get to 39.xx or whatever.
the rain in the fall is the reason for this flood. the river wont rise much with all the snow thats left to be melted, especially with the hydrologic graph showing a decent curve going down.

although its only going down 2 feet in the next seven days. So if they were to show the whole graph like they were before it wouldnt look like much. The graph is kinda deciving

I'd say it takes it a hell of a lot longer to desend then to rise, cause the Hudson Bay it flows into, in Canada, is still frozen.

ah, some of you guys are kinda stupid. The snow isnt gonna make a bit of difference, sure its gonna put a little water INSIDE the dykes from melting, but it is <1% of what is out there. Therefore, NO DIFFERENCE. Another note, if you were smart at all, you would look downstream to where the water is even coming from. My house, the yard is dry, the ditch is maybe 1/4 full, and the river crested on tuesday and has already went down 3+ft. It takes 4 days for the water to travel the distance to fargo at this velocity, and that is the reason the river leveled off of friday.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

Another question about you guys posting about 97', were you really even involved with that flood. If you weren't please don't make comments aboutit. 97' was a whole different animal for us.

No comment then. Youre right, we're all wrong. -
Post your pics/video up Bill i am dying to see more of out there! Jay is flying again today so we should be getting some good images tonight. He was not sure where they were going when I talked to him though. I asked him to look for your dads place again.

Yay no classes at NDSU all next week either now lol
BTW I am really impressed with the FM area through all of this. We pretty much rocked it. This is why I love the FM area; most of the people here are actually kind and care for one another.
Sounds like a decent chunk of Fargostreet was out there on the front lines bagging and what not too. Good job guys.
