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 -

really Joel?
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.....

Thanx for the offer. I was going to dig through the trailers for some big gas pumps but He cannot get the boat to the road right now.
