... The Flood Warning remains in effect until noon CDT Monday for
western Polk... western Marshall... Clay... Kittson and Norman counties
in northwest Minnesota... and Wilkin County in west central
Minnesota... and eastern Walsh... Pembina and Grand Forks counties in
northeast North Dakota... and Cass... Barnes... Traill... Steele...
Griggs... Sargent... Richland and Ransom counties in southeast North
Dakota...

Local officials continue to report water over topping roadways in
low lying areas resulting from snowmelt and ice jams. In Cass
County... emergency management has relayed information regarding
numerous flooded roads as the swollen Sheyenne has broken out in
many places creating overland flooding... .notably just south of
Harwood where water is up to a foot deep over the southbound lanes
of Interstate 29 reducing traffic to one Lane. Similar flooding is
still prevalent along ditches... streams and tributaries... especially
farther north... where numerous roads have been closed. The Route 17
bridge east of Grafton spanning the Red River is closed... as is ND
54 between I-29 and Oslo Minnesota. ND 200 at mile marker 402 near
Hillsboro is closed due to flooding. Numerous County and township
roads and bridges have water running over them or are completely
washed out. Persons should be aware of water over other roads across
all of these counties... with the probability of additional Road
flooding as overland water continues to flow toward the mainstem red.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Turn around dont drown. Avoid driving on flooded roads. Most flood
related deaths occur in automobiles.

Do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches of
rapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely.
