Re: Fargo Flood 2009 pics

It's never been this high before since fargo was inhabited as a city, but yeah, it goes up every year. That last pic shows what happens when it gets really high. Overland flooding. It fills up the farm fields and flows over I-29, closing that, but in doing so, it relieves the water buildup closer to the river, so what you see at their house is likely the highest it will ever really get, unless the area is developed more. More houses = less places for water to go, thus higher water.

If fargo and moorhead are smart, they will limit, north/south expansion in favor of east/west development.
