Thread: I haz H2O. And lots of it.

The wonderfull joy of living in a flood plain. I took these pics on friday, and since than the water has gone up almost 5 more inches. All of these are around my house and on the road near it. Our sump pump has ran contiouns for almost 48 hours now. No cycling what so ever. just solid running. Any grass you see is gone. All under water, we actually are boating from the house to the road. Tons of fun.











Its above the bumper on this car now.



Theres actually a road behind this camper. Last time I walked over there the water had risen to the point that the tire closest to the door is up to the rim in water.


So yea if anyone needs some water come to wahpeton. we got plenty.

Jesus.

Looks like Japan.

^^ totally inappropriate. but so true.

Damn...that looks pretty cool actually....

But really, I hope nothing gets damaged from it...I know how having 3 feet of water in your entire house goes....

Stupid Red River always flooding, I still remember the flood of 98 that was bad.

I've been to Fargo once, craziest storm I've ever seen was in Fargo. Growing up in MN, it seemed like every year around this time it was time for the red river to flood.

And whats the story with the blue car? What is it? Is it driveable, when its not submerged that is....

yeah, there was some crazy flooding going on over the weekend all over the midwest. hopefully it dries up so you can get on with your lives.

Its a 1970's opel 1900. My dad used to drive it in highschool, bout three years ago we pulled it out of the trees to restore it. but found way to much wrong with it.

Someone turn off the bathtub. There are dying kids in Africa that would love to have even a little water. And here you are complaining about it. How inconsiderate.

i remember the flood here in iowa in 08. that sucked! just hope it doesnt hit your house.

The worst part is we could get it all to drain by cutting one road. Because thats the road that holds all the water back, theres like a four foot difference between water levels on the two sides. Only issue, the county sheriff and his deputy live quarter mile away. And neither one cares for me. Something bout loud pipes at 3 in the morning. I don't Know. something like that. lol

happy happy joy joy


its funny cuz it looks like they live on an island

now I see why your truck is lifted. lol.

Time to get a wave runner. . .

It dont matter right now, I take my 35s off in the winter and put some smaller studded tires on. We actually use our old suburban, boat, or a canoe.

The other thing that makes this all really weird, this water is connected to the red, so we have been shooting carp in our front yard, its a weird feeling.

the river floods here almost every year here too...we usually end up with fish in cornfields....quite funny actually.
