I couldn't believe the difference in water levels between driving through Grand Forks on Tuesday, and then driving through again on both Wednesday and Thursday. I'm still shaking my head about how fast the water can come up. I had seen red post all along the edge of roads, and never thought about it, but now I know they are for marking the edge of the highway, in case it gets covered with water. ( read it in the paper this morning) All that being said, we were never in any danger. The only actual river flooding we saw was when we were going over bridges in Crookston and Grand Forks. There were a lot of flooded fields, and we talked about the danger of overland flooding maybe being as bad as river flooding. Another place we saw a dramatic rise in river level was in Morris, and the Morris River. The Promenade at the Forks is now under water, but no-one around here is making any fuss. David figures that overall, he drove over a thousand miles over the five days. But he shouldn't complain, if he's not going to let anyone else drive.
So--home now and a chance to clean-up, sort, and do laundry.
