1. BREAKING NEWS: Red River crests near Fargo below highest feared levels, forecasters say

no link, just at the top of www.msnbc.msn.com

I don't know how you determine if it has crested or not but it's good news!

3. Crest

Evidence of a crest: look at the water line on a gentle slope of ground. If the debris carried by the water is still floating - no crest yet. If there is a ring of debris above the waterline - crest has been reached and the water is receding.
