oh, in Oakport...

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.

Apperently it's 32+ degree for the next week with snow on Monday and heavy snow on Tuesday.

Oh really? Yeah just hurt they were working on it, and it "broke" and the police basically yelled for them to run and get out. No one was being allowed back in. Haven't heard any more.

Mine is a rumor too.

[STiSchucky]

Nicks dad said it was a breech and it was "bad"

[harwood39]

I am packed and ready to go. I do not plan on leaving fargo unless they force me. We have pumps and generators at my rents place ready to go. I moved all my basement stuff as i live right across from meritcare... My main floor will be fine, but the basement will be full if something happens.

This is getting rediculous. I know we have a lot more troops coming in. We are gonna have like 1700 here. There is about 900 now.

[XJHEAD]

Was both from my understanding now too

I have been trying to follow this the best I can.

Don't Joel's parents live in that riverview area? If so, has anyone heard how they are doing over there. I seen his posts from last night about giving up, then starting the pumps back up again and staying on it.

I stopped at joels place last night but he was moving things out of the house and wasn't there. The water is very high on the house. That dike is a doosy.

I get the impression from KFGO that you guys are G2G...... but then again I am 400 miles west

[Bp-08]

only thing that worries me right now is this map of the 97 flood. how it stopped then raised 3 more feet.
