That area is 904' above sea level. I am at 905' and I bagged my window wells.
I know people north of you that have sandbagged their homes.

It may be for nothing, but better safe than sorry.

Its anyones guess at this point.

They are going to try to build the dikes to 44', still expecting the water to be 43' or less.

Does anyone have like 10-15 sand bags? I wouldn't mind bagging my window wells to my basement. I live by lindenwood.

[Rexwagon]

this is going to be a mess this weekend when it gets a little warmer out.

You said you didnt need to sandbag before and were going to be dry didnt you?

[63vette]

Walaker said dikes to 44'. I am betting he says 45' tomorrow.

[DelSlow]

Better safe than sorry since its at 43' now.

likely.

any idea where to get sandbags like 15 of them to buy? guess we're goin to try sand baggin the wells like delslow said.

[00Accord]

Fargo city commission unanimously decided to shut down all majors roads in the city effective at midnight tonight. So that means we can't use them until further notice? I'm just trying to figure out if I'll get arrested driving to work in the morning.

I just wanted some bags that no one was using...I would much rather prefer the bags made go to the walls along the river, they need them more than I do really.
