I Grew Up…

…associating “North Dakota” with “drought”. That’s mostly what we had when I was a kid, or so it seemed.
It seems lit’s never quite perfect:
The National Weather Service has issue a flood warning for Stutsman County and much of the state.
The warning, which will be in effect until 9:45 a.m. Tuesday for urban areas and small streams in much of North Dakota, said that heavy runoff from snowmelt and ice jams on small streams and rivers are causing widespread flooding in western and southern North Dakota. As precipitation develops over the next day, man areas could see rapid rises in local streams and rivers. Rates of more than an inch per hour are expected from stronger thunderstorms.
Interesting to see what happens in Minnesota.

You lived near farmers. I’ve never seen a farmer who claimed the weather was good. It’s always too wet, too dry, too sunny, too cloudy, wet at the wrong time, dry at the wrong time, etc.

They’ve got blizzard warnings up there today. Brrr.

I’m wondering if those who are still living or have rebuilt on the flood plain will have their homes rebuilt for the second/third/fourth time by the taxpayers?
