Surprised the reporter wasn't in a little boat. lol
-
Not so long ago, there wasn't enough water to move barge cargo
-
When you say the water rose 6 1/2 feet most people will think vertically, not mostly horizontally…………
-
It's important to remember that Lilydale was evacuated years ago specifically because it flooded often. Bohemian Flats in Minneapolis was another neighborhood that was cleared because of frequent flooding. The upper Mississippi is a powerful stream. When Harriet Island goes under in St. Paul, it's a flood.

It's the Mississippi, it's what it does
-
This is a great reminder for the rich people, NEVER build in flood plains!
-
Last week I saw a report that the Mississippi was drying up.......??????
-
my classmate us 5ft and back in my old school we went to a boat and we notice that their was a flood here in 2001
-
The ebb & flow of nature. Be safe y'all!
-
Wonder how it looks in St. Louis, down here in Memphis it needs the water it’s been low
-
Happens regularly over the years

Corrin Hoggard? Oh my. That is an unfortunate name.

I was there in early June for graduation took a walk along the south bank of the Mississippi downtown St. Paul. The water was already high. Chicago mix "The Candy Store!"
-
The water is really high in the Minneasota river by HYW 77 (Around Eagan) which is a few miles before it join the Mississippi river. All the nature trail in the area are about 4 feet under water. Thank God we got basically no snow last winter because if we had the same record snow fall as we did in 2023 and then all this rain we have had this spring and summer the whole state would be swimming.
-
How does this effect transportation on that water are they going to have more issue with bridges and barge from faster moving water and lower head clearance
-
Maybe if you didn't put man-made objects RIGHT ON THE RIVER BANK you wouldn't have flooding problems.
-
Hey Google, what's my elevation
-
where i live, last year was a carbon copy of 1997, this year is a carbon copy of 1998 so far, and im pretty sure i was in st paul one of those years and this was happening then Its all just cycles.
