Album Description:
I photographed the City of Fargo 3/27 and 3/28 during the flood of 2009. The Red river may have crested at 40.82 feet around midnight 3/27. The levee building operation appeared to be well organized.

Nice job. Congratulations. I live on Lake Winnipeg where all of this water ends up. What is amazing to me is that we barely notice the impact on our lake levels from floods on the Red. A good strong north wind has much more effect in mid Summer.

Congratulations on the feature. It is a well documented view of a huge operation, Looks far larger than we have round here in UK & this part is very prone to flooding. Eric
