Life is always interesting in Grand Forks. Every year the Red River likes to make a fuss, and this year the river is really showing its might. It is an amazing sight to see but an uneasy feeling quickly replaces the awe. I was able to hop over the levy to snap a few photos before rising waters are too high. As of 3:30pm on Thursday the water levels were at 46.48 ft. with a crest of 50 to 53 ft on Sunday or Monday. Go check out the live webcam to see what the Red is up to.
The fancy new flood wall that should protect the city up to 60 ft.
This marker shows the levels of some of the major flood levels in Grand Forks. The top represents the flood of ’97.
The snow just won’t stop! Over the past few days we have received over 6 inches.
