Flows have been close in 2010 and 2016. USGS records at site only go back to 1980 so I would be curious about floods prior to then

Perfect opportunity for this country to form a immigrant restoration team that travels around to different states to fix issues for like 5 years for a green card, guaranteed 500k federals workers at minimum wage vs state union workers. Problem solved!

35 years never seen it that high, but.. but. It was that high less than 35 years ago.

The Cannon river is at record crest, so when would it have been that high?

This is an opportunity to remap the flood zones. Look for federal grants for parks with playgrounds and try to get some of that flooded land donated.

Northfield already had their pride festival. Went on without any problems. It's held in Central Park, which isn't at risk of flooding.
