For those who aren’t local to MSP: the view you’re seeing isn’t some country or suburban road; it’s off a bridge that’s right smack dab in the middle of the cities. Folks here decided in the late 1800s, “Nah, we’re just going to stop developing all the way to the river banks,” and the result is that in 2026, that photo is full of trees.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io Hopefully that gives floodwaters somewhere to go?

@inthehands@hachyderm.io I spent a lot of time near the Mississippi in New Orleans. Then I spent time in Minnesota. And every time I had to cross the Mississippi up there my first thought was always, "How'd it get so small?" 😂 (For anyone not familiar, that river, even in southern Minnesota, is huge.)
