Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The 2011 Red River flood took place along the Red River of the North in Manitoba in Canada and North Dakota and Minnesota in the United States beginning in April 2011. The flood was, in part, due to high moisture levels in the soil from the previous year which meant that further accumulation would threaten the flood prone region. Flood predictors were worried of a dual crest of both the Assiniboine River and the Red striking Winnipeg at the same time. Beginning around April 8, 50 homes were evacuated and two more were flooded after an ice jam in St. Andrews pushed the river to burst its banks. Three fatalities were blamed on the flood by 8 April all in the US. One was a man who died while sandbagging in Fargo-Moorhead, while the other two were men who drowned in the Maple River when their boat capsized while hunting beavers. A fourth man died in Niverville, Manitoba on 9 April when his vehicle skidded off a flooded road and submerged. The Red River through most of Southern Manitoba was below major floods of the past including 1979 and 1950, but when the river crested at the James Avenue pumping station north of the confluence of the Red River and the Assiniboine River, the measured open water crest was 19.59 above datum, which if the flood controls put in place along the Red and Assiniboine Rivers were not present would have amounted to the sixth highest water levels ever recorded in Winnipeg only lower than 1861, 2009, 1997, 1852, and 1826. The increased crest at the James Avenue pumping station was largely due to the flooding Assiniboine River."@en }
