MeritCare Health System announced on their web site and on news outlets they are beginning evacuations at 8:30 tonight (3/26/09) of about 180 hospital patients due to the flood. More flood area evacuations are occurring. Airproofing ( talk) 04:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
I think the whole North Dakota should be included in this article and new name for this article would be recommended. Because the flood affected the whole state of North Dakota. [1] Look between March 20, 2009 and March 27, 2009 Articles.

Beulah and Hazen were affected by the Knife River and Spring Creek floods. Linton and Napoleon were affected by Little Beaver and Big Beaver Creek floods. Missouri River also had ice jams North Bismarck at double ditch. Would cause flooding problems south Bismarck Expressway and West of Washington Street. http://www.kfyrtv.com/default.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by J35u52012 ( talk • contribs) 13:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
The rename should have been discussed. The new title does not meet Wikipedia standards (& !), and there is more than one flood. These are different watercourses, on different sides of the continental divide, with different geologies. They could (and should) be handled in separate articles. Kablammo ( talk) 13:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. The Red flows north on the east side of the divide, the Missouri flows south on the west side. Neither is impacted by the same exact causes (other than too much moisture like any river). Both have significantly different impacts as well.
Per the above comments, I reverted the name to the original and removed the 2 tiny pieces of info regarding the Missouri (since the rest of the article was completely about the Red), and removed the KFYR search references that are not relevant to the Red. Mrlatenite ( talk) 21:43, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I found this article to be fascinating: http://www.ndsu.edu/fargo_geology/documents/geologists_perspective_2003.pdf -- Appraiser ( talk) 16:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
The US Army Corps of Engineers and the Red Cross of America have a lot of photos available on Flickr. USACE photos are public domain due to it being a government entity, and Red Cross of America is only asking for attribution. Photos are here and here. There are also a lot of photos taken by individuals, many of which are freely licensed. - JWGreen ( talk) 18:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
In accordance with the suggestion further up on this page, material on flooding elsewhere in North Dakota (Missouri and Souris basins) should now be added to 2009 North Dakota floods. That article needs some help, both in adding material on flooding in areas to the west of the Red, and also rewriting and condensing material on the effects in the state on the Red River flood, covered here. Material from here has been copypasted in the other article and needs to be rewritten. Kablammo ( talk) 01:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
