I was a little young to remember March '66, but I have heard lots of stories and seen plenty of pictures of it. I do remember the ones from around '78 or so, and '86 and March '97, which brought us the flood a few weeks after, when East Grand Forks N.D. was wiped out. My house backed onto the Seine River in St. Vital, at the peak of the flooding I was able to paddle my canoe over my fence and across the Niakwa and Windsor Park golf courses. We were put on 24 hour evacuation notice for a period of 3 or 4 days, but my house was never really threatened.
