My brother works for the state as an electrical inspector. His boss is on some sort of state disaster board (not sure what it is called). That board had a meeting last night. Anyway his boss told him that if the dike shows any kind of weakness in the next couple of days, Fargo will be evacuated. They have a plan in place to close I-94 from Bismarck to Fargo, allowing people in Fargo to evacuate.Well, it just closed from Jamestown to Fargo. Foreshadowing anyone?

i have lots of pictures from the past few days from when i had time to take them. , i hope to post them soon. I thought it was odd to see SD HP Blocking i-94 I know there is Mutual aid and all but interstate Mutual aid this far from the border makes you think something big is going on. I have seen 3 news helicopters and a guard/army blackhawk and a dolphin helicopter in the air today! it's getting unnerving wondering whats going on.
Update: Listening to the scanner, sounds like they are closing the tri-level. and i-94 east is CLOSED for mutual aid ambulances. I dont know about west but the hp is blocking the westbound ramps too.

Interstate from Jamestown to Fargo has been re-opened.wtf? Why did they close it in the first place then? I think they have an evil plan to blow up the interstate to funnel the water west! Oh it is so brilliant!

Could be interesting. Dilworth Fire was going to leave a truck in Oakport because all the roads would get shut down but it sounded like another department was going to take it. Coworker from DFD is no longer online either - so maybe they're trying to make it up there.

This was my girlfriends grand parents house. They had evacuated already so there fine. No fire departments were able to make it out there and let it burn down.
