Flood Information
Above normal snow accumulations coupled with very heavy April-May precipitation are creating record river water levels. This is forcing historically high releases from the federal dams on the Missouri, including Garrison Dam in North Dakota. The Souris River in Minot is also flooding as well as the Oahe Reservoir.
Some area cooperatives are affected due to the flood situation. Find out more by visiting their Facebook site or by contacting your local electric cooperative.
