More Flooding Photos from North Dakota

photo credit: Katie Moore Atkinson

The flooding in North Dakota is making national headlines as Minot’s Souris River (also known as the Mouse River) crested this weekend at 1561.7 feet, beating the 1881 record of 1558.0 feet. Minot, Bismarck-Mandan and many of their surrounding areas continue to be heavily impacted by the excess water that needs to leave the state.

The Ambassador spirit of the North Dakota people continues as neighbor is helping neighbor, and more importantly, complete strangers are lending a hand to help out their fellow human beings. No questions, no payments, but rather simple thank yous and doing what is right is prevailing in most instances.

There’s been a lot of Ambassador questions about what is really happening and how can they help. Earlier this month we posted our first series of photo links to help you better understand the situation with our post North Dakota Flooding Photo Links.  This is a follow-up to that post to provide you some more up-to-date information and imagery from North Dakota. If you have more resources, please feel free to add them I the comments section. As we learn of more we’ll also attempt to update.

North Dakota Flooding Photo Links

North Dakota has been an interesting place to be the last couple of weeks, especially if you live in the Bismarck/Mandan or Minot areas. Flooding from the Missouri and other tributaries has resulted in a whole lot of sandbags, volunteer effort and a tidal wave of spirit that is truly North Dakotan.

We’ve had a few requests for photos and other information about the flooding, so we thought we’d capture them here for our out of state Ambassadors who just want to connect with what’s happening at home.  As more photo’s become available we’ll attempt to update the links here.
