The Red River crested in Pembina at 46 ft this spring. We were glad to have missed major flooding. This week some of our neighbors have not been so fortunate. It has been raining for the past 3-4 days. West of us, the Walhalla, Hoople and Cavalier areas have had more rain than we have. The town of Crystal has had major flooding, water is near the top of the Renwick Dam at Cavalier, and there has been sandbagging in Walhalla as well. This afternoon there is water coming over Highway 55 between Walhalla and Neche. Below is a link to an article in the Grand Forks Herald. So far Pembina has had a little less rain and the Red River is at 36.7 ft. It is projected to rise to 40.9 ft. in the next week.
