2001 flooding 36.7 feet. The flood this weekend is predited to go 5.3 ft higher to reach 42 ft.
Moorhead, MN is to the left (looks like they do not have as much protection) and Fargo ND is on the right of river in this picture.
The white building in the bottom center of the screen is where difficult child has therapist and psychiatrist appts.
This picture is facing South. The brown building down the road is the psychiatric hospital difficult child was at Oct 2007.
Between the tree line and the dike on the right bank was where we would go on passes to toss the football and walk. There is a good sized parking lot that is underwater in this picture.
The permanent dikes on the Fargo side have become a sledding hill for kids in the winter. At the north end of psychiatric hospital parking lot (half way between therapist and psychiatric hospital), the little gray area is now a skate board park (I can't tell in this picture if it was one at that time).
At the top of the picture is the freeway that I usually take over the river. If I have more time, I will sometimes come in on Main street which would be one block to the north of the therapist building. The freeway I-94 and Main street bridge (just out of site on the bottom of the page) are the two major bridges that you will hear about in the news.
