Flood

Cutty72 · 03-23-2009, 01:02 AM

Well, it's here. Flood time.

As of now, my town has shut off water and pumps are running to try to get the water out of town.

I have over 2' of water in my back yard, and it's still raining. As well there is still a huge snowdrift in my back yard.
Luckily, my house is built up pretty well, so I *hope* it should be ok. But I have a garage in my back yard, and that has a foot of water in it already.

The Red River is expected to crest at 41+ feet... by Friday.
FYI, the "great flood" of '97, claimed to be a "100 year flood", the Red crested at a mere 39.5'.

What the hell! How can we get higher water than the 100 year flood in only 12 years!!!!

I hope we can save our town... biggest prob is all the culverts are frozen, so to get it to move anywhere, it has to be pumped, and there are only so many pumps.

Wow that sucks. I blame the democrats for this. In fact I blame Gore, he created global warming/climate change.

Good luck

Damn global warming.

Awesome! I was in Grand Forks for five years, and I cannot get over the stupidity of that town. Lets build up our public works to handle the flood that comes EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Oh wait, lets build the Alerus instead! Morons. I also love how they hate the military and treat us like shit ecxept for flood month when they want us to sandbag. Listen, if you live in a place where it gets down to negative 60, it floods every year, and the mosquitoes can kill a full-grown man, God is telling you to move. I loved how townies made fun of me for living there and being military. Motherfucker, I get paid to live here, you live in this shithole because it's where your parents house is! Sorry if it upsets you when I bash on your home, but I hate that fucking place and I'm not too fond of the people that live there. I don't know if you're a local or military, but if you live there voluntarily then alls I can say is you asked for it.

You, Minnesota, and SK/Winterpeg all get screwed by that. It's one monster fucking flood plain.

sorry to hear it. We had the floods going on last year and so far here the rivers are already crowding on peoples yards or taking them over and the next two days we're expecting ...............rain.

My dad's shed is flooded... the culvert that drains the entire neighborhood is in his nextdoor neighbors front yard... and it's blocked by a huge chunck of ice in two different places...
