Some Red River of The North- Fargo-ND- Flood Photos



The stage on the Red River at Fargo-ND stands at over 40.6 feet- more than a foot higher than the record flood crest of 1897.


So far the levees are holding- but a forecasted flood crest at Fargo of 43 feet has city officials worried. Some evacuations have already been carried out.

Here is a link for live streaming of Fargo radio station WDAY-AM 970.

Besides Fargo- the entire length of the Red River will expeience major to record flooding. The southern Canadian city of Winnepeg will be on the receiving end of all this water.

Here are some flood photos- courtesy of FEMA:
