(Outside Reading #22) Red River Flooding

I read an article called "As snow falls, flood worries grow" on Startribune. They say that since we've gotten so much snow this year that it might be triggering and early warning for spring flooding in Red River Valley. In 1996-1997 the same thing happened since that was a year that we got a ton of snow. I would be scared if I lived in Red River Valley. I'm sure when they last had flooding a lot of damage was caused and people might have been forced to move out of their houses. To go through something tragic like that again, it would be sad. Scientists said that if there is a gradual warm up and minimal snow for the rest of the winter the chance of flooding would decrease. The leave off saying global warming is hitting us hard.
