Minot Sees Record Flood

CBC:

Minot, the fourth-largest city in North Dakota, is about 90 kilometres south of the Canadian border, almost directly below the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary.
The Souris river and torrential rains feeding into it have also caused havoc across southeastern Saskatchewan, where a number of communities have declared states of emergency as they deal with flooded homes, businesses and crumbling roads.
In the coming days, the river through Minot is expected to expected to dwarf the major flood of 1969. That's when the Souris reached 474 metres above sea level. It's expected on the weekend to hit nearly 476 metres, surpassing even the historical record level of 475 metres, set in 1881.
"In two days' time, it will be a rapid, rapid rise," Gov. Jack Dalrymple said.
The 1969 flood prompted the Army Corps of Engineers to build a dike system that has been beefed up several times this spring.
But those levees are unable to handle flows from Saskatchewan of approximately 28,000 cubic feet per second.

It is stunning how much flooding there has been in the Dakotas this spring.  I don't know if it is caused by La Nina, but she's my expected culprit.
