Thousands evacuated amid North Dakota floods

Thousands of people have been evacuated from the flooded US state of North Dakota, but officials say there is some good news.




The Souris River is set to peak in the next several hours, which means the worst of the flooding is over.

But with heavy rain overnight, it looks like the water will stay for some time.

Al Jazeera's Cath Turner reports from Minot, North Dakota.

That's what happens when they cut money from infrastructure and give more tax cuts for the rich

Forget floods, our military needs more funding! Forget education, our armies need more weapons! Forget healthcare, we need more bombs!... Well Uncle Sam, what do we need now?

@WellIAMScottish just mad cause its the truth and the truth hurts

[mmedefarge]

@fight2legalize LOL.

[fight2legalize]

@mmedefarge Oh, one more thing. Our world leaders want to depopulate by any means. So death is what they want. Sorry to break it to you.

[fight2legalize]

@mmedefarge Well one problem we got is that we are in totally different world's. Yours is millions of years old and mine is only thousands, so we won't agree on much. Good day to you.

[mmedefarge]

@fight2legalize When permafrost, millions of years old, starts to melt, you've got more than a "weather pattern". The poles have shifted before; that's not new. Cloud seeding is very local, doesn't cause much rain, which is why it's not used all that much & has been going on for many decades; it's not causing flooding of this magnitude all over the globe. Chemtrails haven't been proven & in any case would not be sufficient to cause massive, world-wide flooding.

@mmedefarge cont...Also I blame chemtrails and cloud seeding. You can visit weather modification. com if you want to learn a little on the subject. It is true.

[fight2legalize]

@mmedefarge Just because the planet is heating up and melting doesn't mean that it's the global warming you think it is. A lot of what is going on is caused by the poles shifting. We have a massive object headed for us in space which is probably triggering a lot of this as well. That and we have only been studying weather a little over two hundred years. This could just be a pattern that we were't expecting. I'm not so big into HAARP. I blame VLF towers for weather modification.
