Spring Flood! Red River April 2022

Over the years of living in this area we’ve learned to roll with the punches when it comes to flood. It’s almost a yearly event come spring time the snow melts the river goes up go figure eh?!
Some years are worse than others depending on snow fall amounts and rain fall along with the melting. This winter had a lot of snow so it’s no surprise that flooding would occur. The amount of rain we’ve had the past couple of days really played in this one. This is the joy of living south of the flood gates along the Red River, when the river begins to rise naturally with water run off and rain it’s all good not much flooding happens. It’s when the houses that were built down close to the river inside of the city are at risk (why they were allowed to build that low to a river that is known for flooding is beyond me) The flood gates are lifted lowering the water in the city and rising the water level south of the city.
