Just a few miles north of Fargo, at Harwood, we hit floodwater! It starts off being just an inch or two...
... but slowly it gets deeper...
... and eventually we're crawling along through 5-6 inches of water. Not a very pleasant feeling! This is all run-off from the Sheyenne, Maple, Rush & Buffalo rivers. It felt like a lot more but I think it was 2-3 kilometers of flooded highway. I believe they closed the I-29 either the same evening we went through or the next morning. Anyway, we got through just in time!
Now this is overland flooding from the Red River. There is an amazing amount of water headed north! We are so glad we're home!
