Grand Forks Part II

I saw shane and Jason at sandbag central last night. They were kicking ass and taking names. Good to see everyone out there. I was working with a 60 year old guy. I have yet to see anyone work as hard as he did. He busted his ass for 6 straight hours. All of you that are helping are freaking awesome! God bless everyone of you. Keep up the great work.

Wish I was there to help guys, I am down in MPLS working right now. I'll be back friday evening and if help is still needed, give me a call otherwise I'm heading to the dome.

Dont know if they need you at the dome as much as they need you on the front lines

kfgo just said they need people filling sandbags. but ultimately, it doesnt matter where you go. just as long as your helping. if one place is overloaded, they will bus you somewhere where they do need you. just go to the fargo dome and they will direct you from there.

We need help watching our sumps during the next week and a half, day and night. No physical work involved other than making sure that the sumps dont freeze. -

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

It was a voluntary evac call. We wont leave til our power shuts off or our wall breaks. even if they shut off our power we figured we could go for 2 maybe 3 days with the gas pump and generator we have. We might sleep somewhere else but my dad will stay here until we run out of gas... -
wow this shit really sucks, i wish i was there to help some of you, even though i have not met most of you. if i still lived in aberdeen i would come up for the weekend and give a helping hand but phoenix to fargo is to far for me in a weekend.

I made a run with 3 more pumps out to my dad's this morning. He was maintaining the 1' in the basement. I took Wild Rice exit to Uni. then North to 88 Ave. Hit water at Uni. going north to 88 ave. I was pushing and breaking ice with 1.5' of water on the road. I get out there and the evac boat shows up. They tell me the guy in the boat was waiting for pumps and to load it up. I head out and get a call from my dad and asked what happened. He tells they drove by him and turned and pushed him over the road. He couldn't get to me from other side, too much ice.
There is a lot of water building up just south of Fargo. It is just starting to work its way to the west and come between Univ. and I-29. Be prepared to leave if on the southside.....
