The water from the Mississippi River should crest this week. I took these pictures yesterday when the water was at about the same level as last years flood crest. These floods look impressive but the property damage is minimal and you won’t turn on the news and see people in St. Paul sitting on top of their roofs waiting to be rescued. The flood would have been worse but the artic type weather of second winter caused the snow to stop melting and freeze instead of running into the river.

I took the second picture from the high bridge. The housing that is the closest to the river is in the picture. They may have to leave their homes if the water gets so deep that the utilities have to be turned off.
