What happened
The episode as NWS FGF wrote it up.
For the ninth time in 8 years, Ramsey county was part of a Presidential Disaster Declaration. Although damages this year were not as bad as previous years, roads around Devils Lake were still hard to maintain. The level of Devils Lake remained just above 1446 feet MSL. The FEMA buyout of the town of Churchs Ferry continued, with some houses being moved to adjacent communities. Problems due to high water continued at the Spirit Lake Reservation, where several homes were threatened by high levels of mold. Students at the Head Start Program in St. Michael had to be relocated due to basement flooding at their facility. Some erosion continued around the Spirit Lake Casino.
