It's important to remember that Lilydale was evacuated years ago specifically because it flooded often. Bohemian Flats in Minneapolis was another neighborhood that was cleared because of frequent flooding. The upper Mississippi is a powerful stream. When Harriet Island goes under in St. Paul, it's a flood.

The water is really high in the Minneasota river by HYW 77 (Around Eagan) which is a few miles before it join the Mississippi river. All the nature trail in the area are about 4 feet under water. Thank God we got basically no snow last winter because if we had the same record snow fall as we did in 2023 and then all this rain we have had this spring and summer the whole state would be swimming.

Well the water levels depends on snow and rain levels we get. Up to the last 2 years we have not had much snow or much rain. Two winters ago we got record snow level and not a lot of rain in the summer. This last winter we got maybe 4 in of snow all winter and all this rain. My worry is when we have record snow and then all this rain. Fortunally I do not live by any river or lakes.

Great Plains farmers and ranchers need water badly! As pipelines for oil and natural gas travel hundreds of miles under- ground, so could pipelines in flooded areas travel towards the Plains Farmers and ranchers! Dams are at full capacity which should have pipelines go to dryer areas, like Great Plains where water is scarce! All flooded areas of the US should have pipelines redirecting water to dryer regions to help prevent water lose!
