Minot North Dakota Flood 2011, North Dakota Flooding: Sirens Wail In Minot As River Tops Levees: MINOT, N.D. Sirens wailed across Minot Wednesday as the swollen Souris River overtopped levees five hours ahead of a looming evacuation deadline, setting in motion what is expected to be the worst flooding to hit the North Dakota city in four decades.
The warning was followed by an announcement saying, "All residents must evacuate, Zones 1 through 9," prompting the last of nearly 11,000 Minot residents to leave their homes for a second time in a month.
Robyn Whitlow, 27, who was helping some residents move the last of their belongings, burst into tears when the sirens sounded at 12:57 p.m. "I feel so bad for everybody," said Whitlow, a Minot resident who lives outside the evacuation zone.
