Dakota flood recedes
The level of muddy floodwater crept downwards yesterday, helping a National Guard sandbagging blitz save a power station that keeps a few lights burning brightly in what remains of this submerged city. The Red River has been falling since early Tuesday and was down to 53.5 feet (16.3m) yesterday, said the US Geological Survey.
