As many of you may have heard in the news recently, the Red River Valley in North Dakota and Minnesota has been flooding for the past couple of weeks.  The cities of Fargo/Moorehead and Grand Forks/East Grand Forks have been experiencing 100 year flooding levels for the second time in 12 years.

Although television and radio have been the standard means of communication, the micro-blogging service Twitter has helped to keep citizens informed of the current flood levels and river situations.  These Twitter accounts, along with websites from the NOAA and webcams setup by local newspapers, have helped to keep the citizens of the Red River Valley informed with the most up-to-date information.

Below is the list of sites and Twitter accounts that I have found useful when following the Red River Flood conditions.
