The wider storm

Devils Lake and Stump Lake continued their modern day historic rise through the month of June. By the end of June, Devils Lake had risen to about 1450.60 feet MSL and Stump Lake had risen to about 1450.50 feet MSL. The rising lake levels resulted in a flurry of new discussions about dikes, safe drinking water, lake outlets, building up roadbeds, and buying out homes. Price tags on any of these projects were usually in the millions of dollars.

Began near Leeds (48.3700, -99.4100).
