Flood waters are beginning to recede in some areas revealing damaged infrastructure in Traill County and Steele County of North Dakota, however a new flood watch was just issued for the region in anticipation for this weekends storms. Many roads are washed out near Hatton, ND, as multiple culverts have failed, and one homeowner lost his driveway to a massive washout that now looks like a 30 foot ravine due to a failed drop structure and culvert. The overland flooding from last weekends storms on top of the recent snowmelt was too much water, too fast for the area to handle. This area drains into the Goose River, a tributary of the north flowing Red River.
Up near Oslo, MN, the Red River has turned into more of a lake, flooding miles of farmland. Water levels have been holding around 37.5 feet, the predicted crest, for the last 24 hours and is forecast to start dropping overnight into Friday, April 29th.
