FARGO, ND, 11-APR-97: Water from the Red River nears a crest at Fargo, North Dakota April 11. An earthen dike in the foreground at Northern Pacific Avenue cuts Fargo off from Morehead, Minnesota. Hundreds of homes were surrounded by the icy waters, and low-lyaing farmland was covered by runoff from the heaviest winter snowfall ever recorded. [Photo by Allen Fredrickson, Reuters] .
