Hey Sandra,

Been here all my life, and a home has never been flooded because of it. It comes over the banks a little in town, but there's only a grass field in that area, so it doesn't matter. But other than that, it is not an issue at all. Any other questions, just let me know, ok? I'm an Agent in Northfield so I can help you with anything you might need. hometeam@charter.net is my E-Mail address. Thanks.

If you REALLY want to know your flood risk, contact an insurance agent who sells flood insurance through the FEMA program or visit FEMA's website (link below). The website has a form where you can enter your address and find out the flood risk for a particular address.

I hope that helps!

Hi Sandra....

I have lived in the Twin Cities area all my life, and I recall, the Cannon River hasn't ever been a news topic for flooding, at least not notable. Here is a report that was done by a local college on the river and notes...."Long-term statistics show that the
river reaches bankfull stage about once every 2.3 years (Cannon Valley Trail)", and doesn't mention flooding. The report is at http://www.stolaf.edu/people/swift/CannonRiverProject.pdf

I hope that helps to ease your concern. It is a beautiful area!
