  • im doing my heritage project on the red river flooding

  • I am doing a project on floods.

  • I went to help sandbag

  • I saw that the Red River is flooding again. This time it will be cresting at 38 feet, which is slightly less than the 41 foot crest last year. I have went through a severe flood like this in my town. Our river almost hit a record crest!

  • If you read my earlier posts you would see that I am saying that Gatoreffer is stupid, not the flood, or the people that went through it. I live by the river, I worked my butt off as did my kids. I know what it is like to have the army patrol the neighborhood & what it's like to watch to T.V. & wait for them to tell you where they need help the most or if the levees were holding. I was there, I lived it! I am not criticizing anyone but the dumb person that said that this is Obama's fault!

  • If you actually lived on the red you wouldnt be callin us stupid i live in grand forks and it sucks so you can shut up cuz it can get really fricken scary

  • Dredging the Red River...or any other river for that matter wouldn't work like that. For one, you would need to more then double the depth of the river, two you would need to continous dredge as a river woul fill it back up with sediment and three, man has been trying to control the rivers and nothing has truely worked. As for piping, you have any idea what kind of maintance that will take, or the cost to build such a system.

  • I'm surprised why no one has ever mentioned (as far as I know) about dredging the red river so this wouldn't happen anymore. Plus this would be the cheapest of all their problems. Isn't this a good idea? Or how about a pipeline that takes overflow water from the Red River to a river that flows into the more desert like areas of North Dakota? Either choice would create immediate jobs and take care of a problem that is going to happen again for sure. Any thoughts?

  • Gatoreffer, you are simply ignorant. I too joined our community. I worked 15 hour days, alongside friends and people I consider family, building dikes and evacuating 80 head of horses. We lost a house we diked for FOUR DAYS to a fire. Why comment so rudely on something that has devastated so many? Really, there is no point. Kudos to you niccamomma. Lets pray the 2nd isn't as bad as the 1st..

  • You are stupid!
