Things are dicey from the city where I grew up, Fargo, North Dakota. The flood waters of the mighty Red River of the North are rolling. From the far northern suburbs, north for 31 miles (roughly halfway to Grand Forks) Interstate 29 is closed and under water.
The river has crested at Fargo.
Southbound traffic on Interstate 29 near Argusville on Sunday. Flooding forced a detour that is about 33 miles longer than the stretch of interstate it replaces. Dan Olson / Special to The Forum
Water fills ditches and fields Sunday on both sides of Interstate 29 just south of Harwood. Heidi Shaffer / The Forum
Workers from the North Dakota Department of Transportation put up a barricade Sunday at the County Road 20 ramp going north to Interstate 29 in Fargo. The interstate was closed due to water over the highway. Carrie Snyder / The Forum
