#1 they got lucky because of cold weather that delayed runoff in the basin (this may also have annoyed CNN because it doesn't go well with their global warming narrative)

next threat is a storm that will come Mon pm through Tues. to the area.

Winds could get up to 30 mph which could result in waves on top of the standing water (also another half foot of snow).

I like the fact that the sand bags are white. It blends in with the snow and looks charming in its own way.

#2 Too bad the Communist News Network clowns can't bother reporting the TRUTH that the Red River floods almost every year because it flows north and therefore the headwaters area often thaws first and the melt backs up against the ice/snow further downstream and - naturally - floods.

If they did, they could report from Atlanta with pictures from a local Fargo station and save the cost and the wasteful Gaia-destroying carbon expenditures of a trip to ~~that backwater where you can't even get a proper bagel and latte and the people dress and talk funny~~ Fargo.
