Outside reding #28

In the book Nectar in a Sieve we are reading about floods and monsoons. Even though these are huge downfalls there are still flooding problems here in Minnesota. I read an article called Severe spring flooding expected along Red River by Bob Von Sternberg. "The outlook for the flooding season along the Red River in Minnesota and North Dakota is not good as many resdients prepare for the flood season" (Sternberg). "Also this area received record rainfall in November and record snowfall in December" (Sternberg). In the book Nectar in a Sieve, Kenny is the one saying that the outlook for the future is bad along with more bad weather to come. "According to this article the weather service reported that the flooding will be the worst in late March and early April" (Sternberg). When comparing these events to the weather in India the outlook for the residents along the Red River are in for a long spring. "Hopefully the upgraded defenses along the river will protect the people" (Sternberg).
