North Dakota Flood Continues to Build

Minot, North Dakota seems to be the next city in line for a massive catastrophe.  As of now some 12,000 residents have been told to evacuate and the coming flood is expected to top anything ever seen by white men in Minot.

(Reuters) - Officials ordered the evacuation of more than a quarter of the residents of North Dakota's fourth largest city of Minot, where massive flooding is expected to overwhelm barriers, authorities said on Tuesday.
"We have been riding a pretty thin edge and regrettably, the storms over the last several days have really pushed the Souris River basin into territory that we have never seen before," Schlag said.


Minot officials warned that water releases from Canadian dams and from Lake Darling Dam above the city could push river levels up to 8 feet beyond those reached during a flood in 1969 and far exceed record flood levels set in 1881.

Again, one has to ask....has judgment started for America?  How many never seen before calamities can one nation have in one year before we realize we simply don't have any money left to offer Federal, State or Local aid to all the people who are in need?
