Crazy flood in Duluth, Minnesota.

Post Reply New Topic

This might be kind of old news but my dad just told me about it(his family lives near the Duluth area), so I am just now looking at some pictures. It's brutal, but yeah I guess I've made up my mind about going out to visit with my sister, brother and dad because I want to see all the damage first hand .

Anyways here's an article if anyones curious, I only skimmed through it so I don't know it was the best article on it but it has cool pictures:

Gotta love the one that is was clearly taken by someone in a raft just having a jolly old time rafting in the flood...it fits the nature of people in Northern Minnesota like my family very well. "hey guys there's a flood, lets go drink some beers and go rafting and check this sh*t out.' though I don't know if the ones who took that picture where drunk.

That's bizarre because it's abnormally dry where I live right now.

Bizarre? that actually makes sense to me if there is a flood somewhere its only natural that it will be too dry somewhere else...at least I read something about it.

That's true, but 400 miles is a short distance to go from flood to drought.
