REWIND: Grand Forks’ Historic 1997 Fire and Flood
Neil, if you can get footage of Riverside Drive (North of Gateway Dr.) there are many of us who would like to see it. ❤🙏
I didn't get back to GF/EGF until October, 1997. I was monitoring flood developments by the hour from my then-residence in Denver in April. The GF Herald heroically got a subscription started and sent to me April 17, the day before the Lincoln Park Dike was the first levee to experience failure, with evacuations following. Then ,the Herald building, as Neil pointed out, was destroyed in the Security Bldg. fire. Memories are not pleasant even though I was not in GF during the high-water period. Thanks.
