No, you are not in the Middle East. The red water that you see is from the red clay from surrounding hillsides, especially Northern Wisconsin, that has been washed into the St. Louis and Nemadji Rivers rivers.
It will gradually clear up over the next few weeks.

Governor Dayton released the following this morning on the flooding in Duluth:
This morning my thoughts are with our friends and neighbors in Duluth and the surrounding region, as they respond to major flooding. I have spoken to Duluth Mayor Don Ness and have offered all possible state assistance now and during the recovery. I will travel to Duluth tomorrow morning to discuss further how the state can help.

High Water in the Northland
Heavy rains over night left many roads impassible in the Duluth and North Shore area. When I headed out to take more pictures, I found that I wasn't going anywhere soon, as the only road out was flooded with a surprised motorist watching his car straddle a washed out road.

Pink Sky in the Morning - Sailors Take Warning
Pink Sky in the Morning - Sailors Take Warning, or so the saying goes.
Rainbows do not appear at 5AM very often, but, this morning was an exception as an approaching storm system triggered an amazing double rainbow over Caribou Lake for 5 minutes before it fading into the clouds.
