Diking helped prevent the town of St. Vincent from being flooded, but could not save the small town of Robbin. The river was estimated to be 20 miles wide north of Drayton, ND, and 25 miles wide near St. Vincent. New records were set on the Red River at Drayton on the 25th and in Pembina on the 26th. The Two Rivers River at Hallock also set a new record on the 21st.
