Confluence

That area is so prone to ice jams and flooding. Wouldn’t be my first choice for homes/oil wells.

 

[Brian Renville]

Flood damage to homes is far from common around here. Other than a few basements now and then I’ve never actually seen someone lose their house out here even 2011 didn’t destroy houses. Compared to the more talked about areas of ND that have problems seemingly every few years this is very rare. The 30 degree weather has made this pretty ugly. The folks in the house the guy said “evacuated” are fine they just moved things out of the basement in case it gets worse and had a bbq on the approach. Now it’s wait and see. If temps drop more, lookout, I hope they catch a break tonight. Not seeing the sun today hurt the situation big time.

Area around Fairview right? I saw quite a few folks stranded in their homes in 2013 while I was there checking out flooded oil wells. Good to see they didn’t lose their homes but it looked ugly.

Yea February hurt. 3 feet of ice on a river doesn’t mix well with runoff. Haven’t heard anything real bad yet. Mainly some road inconveniences and some freaked out cattle that barely got out in time.

Well it did get worse. Highway 200 is under water and ice. Some dikes broke and it is actually flooding a few folks now. Ish.

Battled water in my basement this weekend. Just from the melting though.

Any guesses on how high it gets in bismarck? Fox as of a couple hours ago and the current river graph and the Hart river definitely closer to the top of the dikes to make me feel comfortable!.

Water, where its not supposed to be sucks, When we moved into this house 26 years ago I landscaped the yard to keep water away from the house and haven't had any water in the basement. More importantly did you hit the race and if you did how was fishing. :;:huh

Nope. Had to babysit the sump pump all weekend. I could have tested deep diver cranks in my backyard.

This is on top of the hill at the house at the confluence where you guys paddlefish. That’s a tall cliff that’s completely under and then some.

BISMARCK, N.D. - The Missouri River at Bismarck has risen over four feet in the last few days and is at Action Stage Sunday night.
Action Stage for the Missouri River at Bismarck is 12.5 feet and the river was at 12.73 feet as of 7:15 p.m. CDT., according to U.S. Geological Survey observations.
The National Weather Service says the unusually high water levels are the result of increasing flows from the Knife River, as well as other local tributaries, and impacts of intact ice cover in the Mandan and Bismarck area.
The NWS says damaging high water is not anticipated, however, conditions need to be monitored.
They say ice jams are very unpredictable, but say if intact ice cover begins to break up, it could lead to an ice jam.

Apple creek is out of its bank down in the wildlife management area and is already over the road by the T. At 3 pm I could drive all the way to the creek but a 7 pm the water was coming over the road by the T

 

[dean nelson]

Well this isn't weird or anything! So did the river come to some unbelievably stable magic level or do we somehow have synchronized gauge failures?

 

[Brian Renville]

Taked this morning at 6:30. This is insanity that water goes from Sundheim park miles toward Fairview.

Here is a video of ND HWY 200, the water is flosing from north to south(the river flows north here). The bluffs in the distance is where the river is(normally).
