The Flood Today

The last three days of this flood fight have been a long fought fight. Mother nature will throw her fury at us with a 39.5 to 41 foot crest. So the volunteers and the city of Fargo go out and build the dike to handle 41 feet. Than mother nature throws 7 inches of snow at us. The crest goes to a hard 41 foot crest so we go out and build the dikes up again. Now the crest is 24 hours away and once again the crest has gone up again to between 41 to 42 feet. So we all go out and now have twenty four hours to get all the dikes up to 43 feet.
Since monday the Fargo volunteers have filled 2.5 million sandbags and more are needed.
Tonite Moorhead has evacuated nursing homes and parts of the cities. All Fargo residents are put on alert. Be ready to evacuate on a moments notice.
