Red River Rising

Google LatLong points to a couple of resources for residents of the Fargo-Moorehead area affected by the flooding of the Red River: this My Map, put together by the owner of several Fargo-area radio stations (see above), and this Google Earth layer released by Google itself. Though the exact information provided by each differs slightly, both provide shelter locations, evacuation areas, and news updates, among other things.

Meanwhile, NASA’s Earth Observatory has an image from last Saturday of the affected area taken by the EO-1 satellite’s Advanced Land Imager.
