Freezing temperatures broke in March of <br />that year, accelerating melting and unleashing 3-6 inches of liquid water on the surface. Ice jams <br />exacerbated flooding problems. The flooding caused $2.4 million in property damages, and no deaths or <br />injuries. <br />Flooding in 2014 directly impacted Saint Paul. Parts of Minnesota received 10-12 inches of rain over a <br />week in June, which was anywhere from 400-600% above normal amounts. The Twin Cities had their <br />wettest start of the year since 1871. Saint Paul Airport deployed a flood wall which closed two of their <br />shorter runways. Due to floodwaters affecting downtown Saint Paul and covering Harriet Island, the <br />Taste of Minnesota and 4th of July fireworks show were moved to different locations. High water on the <br />Mississippi also forced the Minnesota Centennial Showboat to postpone a week of shows. This flooding <br />caused $1.9 million in property damages, and no deaths or injuries.
