…Flooding Worsens Along the Souris and Missouri Rivers…

Flood control measures along the Souris River in North Dakota have reached their limit, and nothing more can be done to hold back the impending flood waters in portions of the Dakotas. The river is expected to be at 1,563 feet above sea level on June 26-27, or 5 feet above the record stage set on January 1, 1881. Predictions of 1.5 to 2 inches of rain or more over the next 24 hours are threatening the levee system protecting Minot, North Dakota. Meanwhile, the Missouri River is overtopping at least two levees in Nebraska and Missouri causing levee erosion and posing a risk of flash flooding. Recreational boating in portions of Missouri River is being restricted.
