[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 50890, member: 816"] sounds like one big cluster fuck to me. and yes... i believe moorhead is pretty much done with their flood protection. in fact, didn't they have it completed a few years back already? why does the idea of a dam on the red river in the spring time seem absurd to me? of course i haven't actually seen where they plan to put it and what its actual purpose is... i assume it will be mostly for diverting the water than actually "damming" it to prevent flooding... but, i can't imagine trying to hold back red river water during a major spring flood. and if i was a regular joe homeowner south of the dam or a landowner/farmer in the path of the proposed diversion, i would be mad as hell at having to sacrifice my home or land for the sake of south fargo. yes... they are still building in what could still be flood prone places. did they ever fix that problem in minot? i found it funny that they were allowing people to rebuild after the flood right next to condemned houses that will never be rebuilt and well inside the line of what was supposed to be the future levy. finally, the cost of this fargo diversion just keeps going up and up. not only is it simply stupid expensive....but, everyone wants to be paid 2-3X what their property is actually valued or insured at. frankly, i am not sure i blame them... but, i do blame anyone who actually pays them that much. good luck fargo. you are gonna need it. just hope like hell we don't get a crazy winter and spring again like 2009. cause i think those types of events are gonna become more common in the future. what a cluster....
