well I dont have any new updates on crest predictions, I did not recieve any. Spent all night Hauling sand to fill the hesco barriers that they are putting up close to the river.

Would have called you delslow to come help over there, but it was a military job, there werent any civilians other than cityworkers and some construction company.

Going to head out there to see if the road in, is under water yet.

Which area?

[slow90gsx]

Those barriers look to be the Shit.They said they could build a 1000' in a hour sweet.

[Slowica]

are they still sending all the volunteers up to the fargodome?

[STiSchucky]

Sounds like moorhead has more areas of need than fargo. Goto nemzek

[bubba]

5th street. between 16th ave and 19th ave. Not sure where tonight It will be at.

[Trafik Jamz]

I'm telling ya...fargo doesn't need to build a super tall dike, it just needs to be taller than the moorhead side of the river...mother nature will take care of the rest

AND YES, I'M KIDDING! I'm hoping both sides have adequate protection.

I think fargo Should be worried about Catching up to Moorhead, before they can go higher. We're at 42 plus from 50th Ave S. to I 94. Plus, Fargo is considerably lower from the get go.

Heard on the radio that all of south moorhead was done this afternoon. hell seems like all of moorhead is pretty solidfied outside of making sandbags now.

didn't seem as chaotic as it was yesterday up north in the country club and down south by alm park/rivershore drive

[Rexwagon]

hopefully the hesco barriers will make up ground tonight.

[Slowica]

not looking forward to sandbagging in the snow tomorrow morning.

[94NDTA]

Anyone have any good pics so far?

I don't want to go around taking pictures.

[darkelvis]

my neighbor just walked down to the sheyenne diversion just north of 12th ave. He said that the diversion is full and all the standing water in our ditches is now at sheyenne height. The people that have been living here for years (some 30+ years) all figure that the river will break out and fill our little development within the next 24 hrs. We all parked on the highway tonight.

Within 24-36 hrs I'll be fishing from my deck on darkelvis island.

^Yeah it's not going to be good for the city when that goes.
