Ua kahe ka wai kahe nui a pani i ke ala nui ma ka hema o ka palena ʻo Canada-US, he mau lā wale nō ma hope o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ke aupuni Manitoba i kahi ʻōlelo aʻo wai kiʻekiʻe no ka hema o ka mokuʻāina.
ʻO ka I-29, e holo ana mai ka palena hema a hiki i North Dakota, ua pani ʻia i ka pō Pōʻalima ma muli o ke kahe ʻana, e like me ka North Dakota Department of Transportation.
Ma kahi kokoke i 40-kilomita, mai Manvel — ma ka ʻākau o Grand Forks — a hiki i Grafton, ND, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka pani ʻana, me nā alanui ʻē aʻe e hānai ana i ka I-29.
Hoʻomaka kahi alahele ʻākau ma ka puka Manvel ma US 81 a huli i ka ʻākau i Grafton, a laila hikina ma ND 17, kahi e hiki ai i nā mea hoʻokele ke hoʻi i ka I-29, wahi a ke keʻena.
Hoʻomaka ka ʻaoʻao hema ma ka puka o Grafton a hahai iā ND 17 ma ke komohana a hiki i Grafton, ma mua o ka huli ʻana i ka hema ma US 81 a hui pū me ka I-29.
Ua hoʻomaka nā hui o ke Keʻena ʻOihana e hoʻokomo i kahi pale wai kahe ma ka I-29 Pōʻalima.
Kuhi ʻia ka Red River e piʻi i Grand Forks i ka Pōʻalima a ʻaʻole i hala ma mua o ʻApelila 17 kokoke i ka palena, e like me ka US National Weather Service.
Ke hoʻomaka nei ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka wai ma Manitoba, no ka mea, hiki ke kiʻekiʻe ke kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻulaʻula ma waena o 19 a 19.5 kapuaʻi James, ʻo ia ke ana o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka muliwai ma James Avenue ma Winnipeg. E lilo ana kēlā pae i ka waikahe.
Ua hoʻoikaika ke aupuni Manitoba i ka Red River Floodway i ka pō Pōʻalima ma hope o ka hoʻopuka ʻana i kahi ʻōlelo aʻo wai kiʻekiʻe no ka Red River, mai Emerson a i ke kahawai kahawai ma ka hema o Winnipeg.
Manaʻo ʻo Manitoba Infrastructure e piʻi ka ʻulaʻula ma kahi o Emerson ma waena o ʻApelila 15 a me 18. Ua hoʻokuʻu ka panalāʻau i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona no ka Red ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o Manitoba:
