Flood of the Century: Stauss

By Dave Thompson

Bismarck, ND – The flood of 1997 hit the communities of Grand Forks and East GRand Forks very hard.
Both cities had to be evacuated -- as dikes breached, and homes and businesses filled with water.
As Prairie Public's Dave Thompson reports, East Grand Forks Mayor Lynn Stauss says ten years later, hit community has come back -- and how.
