Joel has a thread from south moorhead so I'll make a thread north of west fargo. We're basically on completely opposite sides of the fargo moorhead area. He's getting hit by the red river. I'm getting hit by the sheyenne. At the time of me posting this we still have power and water. If we stay on the road and wear our waders we can get to our cars (waist deep). The ditch straight out in front of our house would be a few feet over my head.

Pictures of my area.

Parked on the highway waiting for our roads to flood over. Morning 3/25

Standing on the top of the dike south of my house, looking at the sheyenne. Afternoon 3/25

19th ave n bridge over sheyenne, south of my house, looking north. In the middle of the summer you can walk across this river without getting your knees wet and will completely dry up from time to time. afternoon 3/25

Bridge looking south.

The yard/horse pasture of the house next to the sheyenne bridge (as of the time of this posting I can no longer get to the bridge or the house). Afternoon 3/25

Sheyenne river 3 houses north of mine. Afternoon 3/25

Standing in the driveway of the house 2 houses north of mine. This used to be 150ish feet of yard to the river. Afternoon 3/25

Standing in my driveway watching the oncoming river. 6:00 PM 3/26

The ditch along the highway. 8:00 PM 3/26

darkelvis · « **Reply #14 on:** March 29, 2009, 02:48:08 AM »

the flooding in our area is a few things. Heavy rainfall this past fall, completely saturated ground when it froze (early freeze). SHIT TON of snow all winter. Followed by a fast thaw this spring.

d-rail · « **Reply #15 on:** March 29, 2009, 03:36:59 AM »

It's kinda wild to see rising water under what looks to be a sheet of ice.

b20x · « **Reply #16 on:** March 29, 2009, 11:10:48 AM »

Why do you live there? I am not saying it isn't your right to live there, but I question why is all. For me I wouldn't want to worry about losing everything to a flood every few years. Hopefully you all recover quick

Schister66 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 29, 2009, 03:51:24 PM »

I hope it works out for you...i've been out sandbagging all week in South Fargo. A lot of the places seemed ok...Oakport was another story. Good luck

Its up here a bit as well, I didn't realize how much till today (I drive over it almost every day, just hard to see over the wall in the MR2), Don't know how bad the people living on the river are, I'll ask a friend of mine tomorrow.

Fuck your nasty ass weather. I still can't figure out why anybody in their right mind would want to live somewhere where it snows and floods at the same time.

Suit yourselves though, more room for me in the desert or on the beach.

Conceptz-X · « **Reply #23 on:** March 30, 2009, 09:27:42 PM »

Deserts can flood with minimal rainfall

Beach is the shit
