FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The weather service says in a flood forecast released Friday that there is an 86 percent chance of major flooding on the Red River at Fargo. Flood stage is 18 feet. Major flood stage is 30
feet.
Last spring, Fargo residents fought off two crests of the Red
River - the first at a record 40.82 feet and the second at 34 feet.
The Army Corps of Engineers says it plans to draw down
reservoirs in the Red River basin to maximum levels to better
handle spring runoff.
