Yesterday, I shared some resources about the flooding in North Dakota and western Minnesota. I decided to include them and more in a new “The Best…” list.

After New Orleans (and now, perhaps, after Fargo),  Sacramento is considered the largest major U.S. city most likely to experience a disastrous flood. I thought it might be useful for our students to see what we might be “in for” someday.

I’ll probably be adding to this list as events develop over the next couple of days.

Here are my picks for The Best Sites To Learn About North Dakota Flooding (and are accessible to English Language Learners):
