“It has been a very difficult and challenging weekend for many communities across the Pembina and Red River Valleys,” said CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner Sunday morning. “From the serious overland flooding in Morden to the many additional states of local emergency issued, this rainfall event simply exacerbated an already tenuous situation. The already saturated landscape had no additional absorption capacity, and all that precipitation we received had no where to go except the path of least resistance.”
