  • This raising of the ground and building on the raised bank, think about it. The homes are worth at least half a million on up. The cost of a proper preventative dike maybe 20%/40% of the dike. I raised mound to live on and the first and should be only choice to build a living space for people and animals, would cost the same. BUT, it would be higher than any flood may reach, and you could have an Elevator to get to your homes first level, if you need to. They have to be brain dead not to do this

  • I have to agree with KaptinKayoss.

    Most of these people with plenty of ground, bound their house to overlook the river. Fine. But don't ask for help when the known flood risks catch them out.

    A lot of places are big enough to have a raised mound for the house and garden, and it would negate any need to build any 'dykes' to stop flooding. If I was mayor it would be written into the law that where people choose to buy or build homes with likely flooding, the homes should be raised!

  • i love the bridge there

  • WTF is wrong with some of these peoples heads? They know the risks involved living by a river and they continure to do so. Well, if they want they're precious, prestigious river view, then let'em swim! To hell with them.......

  • Wow, I sandbagged Scotia street back during the flood of 1997. To see it covered again 12 years later ... I hope things work out.

  • I live here. Is it? I could look...

  • I knew that Rosslyn apt would have problems, I am sure that underground garage is total full of water.

  • wow i did not realize how bad the flooding. i wonder what fargo is looking like

  • are you a bomber fan
