North Dakota continues to grapple with flooding impacts

Flooding Souris River
Floodwaters from the Souris River surround homes and a back hoe on 3rd St. N.W. near Minot State University Monday, June 27, 2011 in Minot, N.D. As the river hit its record-shattering peak and began a slow retreat, residents looked ahead to an arduous rebuilding job while continuing to deal with short-term obstacles such as sharing the homes of friends and relatives, traffic tie-ups and an advisory to boil drinking water.

Flooding continues to be a big problem in North Dakota. Even as the waters begin to recede, some of the temporary dikes along the Souris have started to erode and weaken.

Residents of Minot are starting to think about how to rebuild after the water goes down.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with reporter Dan Gunderson in Moorhead to talk about this story and other news in the region.
