"ROSEAU, Minn., June 11 — The rain-swollen Roseau River broke through a
sandbag dike Tuesday in this northwestern Minnesota town, spilling into
yards and streets. Police ordered a handful of people living close to the
floodwaters to leave; others who heeded voluntary evacuation orders were
bused to Red Cross stations in a nearby town.

While the river wasn’t expected to crest until Wednesday, the forecast
called for more rain to top the 5 to 12 inches that has fallen since the
weekend.

Flood stage is 16 feet in Roseau, which set its old record of 21.1 feet in
1996. The water was at 22.26 feet Tuesday, and the National Weather Service
projected a crest of 23 feet. "

Sidenote: You can see the stages of this river on the NWS site at
http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/mn/hydro.html

It's a little cryptic but it looks like they are saying it is at 22.9 feet
now with a forecast crest of 23.5 feet.
