Flood Situation Eases At Critical U S Points
Floodwaters in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota eased on Tuesday as Canadian drought fears rose with a dike blast near Emerson Manitoba. Manitoba officials and North Dakota state authorities discussed measures to relieve overflow while assessing damages and crop planting timelines. The Red River dropped to 45.6 feet at Grand Forks, matching the 1950 crest, and Crookston saw relief after an ice jam eased water flow. Officials foresee slower receding with early spring thaw and no official damage estimates yet beyond prior projections.
