Flooding Concerns in Fargo and Moorhead,

By
Real Estate Agent with Ockhardt Realty 1845
  • For nearly 20 years the upper midwest and Fargo and Moorhead have been experiencing a wet cycle with more rain and snow year around.  Additionally farmers, out of necessity, have worked to improve the drainage from their fields in order to get their crops in and out of the fields.  The result has been far more water getting into the red river drainage basin and subsequent flooding.
  • The concern for new residents of Fargo Moorhead is finding a home that is not flood prone.  Fortunately there are few homes left which are likely to flood on a regular basis.  This has been made possible by a combination or diking and removing homes.
  • But unfortunately there is still a chance that any home within the Red River Valley could be affected by either river flooding or overland flows. After all, this area was known to be the site of a great body of water called Lake Agassiz,  has been under as much as 50 feet of water during the post ice age period over 10,000 years ago.
