Flooding in the Red River Valley

Here are a few pictures from the flooding in North Dakota/Minnesota. The Red River Valley has been getting a lot of snow and they are to be getting more snow this weekend I believe so this is not over yet. Keep in mind that this river flows north usually at four mph. It is currently flowing at sixteen mph. As we all know Fargo has been flooded and now all of this water if heading north to Grand Forks, Oslo, and eventually Winnipeg Manitoba. These pictures are posted from North to South.
