Hi Tom. there are many rivers flooding in ND this year but only 2 of real concern, and they have flooded before. The Red River is the border with MN, it flows north and ends up in the Hudson Bay. Fargo and Grand Forks are the biggest cities on this river, both have large sister cities on the MN side that are threatened also. The Missouri River flows south through Bismarck and joins the Mississippi River near St Louis and ends up in the Gulf of Mexico. What happened this year is that they had a lot of snow and very cold temperatures that kept the snow from melting all winter long. When it got warm, and it got and stayed warm fast, the snow melted fast, and ended up in the rivers and creeks fast, it all went downhill fast overflowing the riverbanks. South of Bismarck they had a huge ice dam that backed water up more. There has been, over the last 130 years or so, a lot of draining of the wetlands and tiling of fields that speed this process along. Everyone knew this was comming so I don't think there is going to be to much suffering. If Fargo does flood there will be no government breakdown, abondon residents or crime spree like happened in New Orleans. The upper plains are a very dynamic place, always changing. Where I hunted pheasants in the grass last year may be a lake I hunt ducks in next year.
