Description
You could actually see the riverwalk if there wasn't 20', (6M) of the Red River on top of it

It looks pretty impressive with the vast amounts of water, I hope it hasn't caused too much damage.

I don't think it receded yet but I think mainly the damage is all the rockwork in the riverwalk.
Its got a lot of work into it and the big flood 2 years ago really damaged it bad. Won't really see this time till the water gets lower

Thanks man
No its pretty much controlled I think. Its typical but a late spring this year.
We had record snowfall. 50% more than usual but the slow melt saved from the big flood that was expected.

It has and we overcame all this without heavy losses. I was busy every spare minute to help in the city.

Is that from all the overburden of snowfall you had last winter?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes but it was a very slow melt so not bad at all. It would be twice this had it warmed up like usual springs. We had 50% more snow than average here and average is lots
This is controlled. I don't think there has been any damage to speak of. Its typical.

No damage is what I like to hear then,that`s good as it looks fairly severe here^^^

It will do some damage to this rock work of course but that would be considered not much damage since no one has to pay for it

Reminds me of the Mississippi down at the Riverfront in St Louis. Nice capture! How much rain have you gotten there?!

Oh thanks Anne!
We didn't get much rain. This is the spring freshet from all the snow and ice melting after the winter.
We were actually lucky cause there was 50% more snow this past winter than average but its been a very slow melt so there's been minimal flooding. This is actually controlled but it does do damage to the beautiful rock work along the river trail.

I've never even heard of a freshet

Oh sorry Anne. Kind of using my fisherman talk on you. We generally use the word for the spring thaw but its also a rise in the rivers from a big rain. [link]
Yes there's been a lot of flooding all over. We expected the worst ever but got really lucky cause its been such a cold spring that most of the snow evaporated instead of melting
We got 50% more than average and average is a lot
Then we started getting huge snow storms late down in North Dakota which feeds into our river which runs North. But in the end it was pretty painless I think for most.
They control the level when they can like right now. They could lower it fast I think if they open the dam a bit.

Freshet...I'll have to remember that 
It's been raining a lot here as well. Probably not on the same magnitude, but enough to cause all kinds of issues. Last year we had a drought so that may be our saving grace. The ground was really dry coming in to spring. And I have to say this is one of the prettiest springs we've had in ages. Never seen the flowers blooming like they have this year
