Grand Forks Part II

[XJHEAD]

I am going to go work on the car. Call me if Fargo goes under.

Here's your proof of the water dropping. Ice shelf is @ 40.82 ft.

[Trafik Jamz]

No one is doubting the river is going down...just realize it could re-surge again...and with the nasty winds that are predicted w. tomorrows storm, it could cause up to 2 foot waves (according to news reports)

Moorhead probably wont be effected much. Strong NE winds will really test the Fargo side dikes though.
Better NE than SE anyway.

Winter storm warning for cass/clay was just announced....8-12" of snow predicted...... Thank god it isn't 45 degrees and rain instead!

NDSU hasn't been evacuated, which is why I didn't include them in the minus 5000 students count. Way to want to start drama. :nonono:

They just had 8-15+ on the TV.

On a sort of positive note, the water is below 40 feet.

I won't be doing anything tonight but tommorrow after 5pm (maybe earlier) I can help anybody who needs a hand.

BTW, I left the 'Dome about 30 mins ago and they needed people still.

ehhhhh,

I think there were enough. Slowed down a little closer to midnight but meh...

Worst part now is finding somewhere to store the damned sandbags. We've stuck sandbags just about anywhere possible on the lower level of the Dome. Basically anywhere we don't have our gear. Hallways, corners...

[94NDTA]

I bet we send a lot of the sandbags north to GF if they need them.

Unlikely they will need much. They are prepared this time around for the most part.

I heard from a person who lives there that they were having trouble with one of the sections of flood walls. Not trying to start a rumor, but thats just what I heard.

I will say this: What big failed so far in Fargo? A flood wall, luckily they were able to "minimize" the damage.

Anyway, that could be bad for them, especially since it looks like its already almost at the expected crest, about 3-4 days ahead of time.

Dick. Just saying the flood wall had one of the biggest failures so far.

This is what I did pretty much all of last week, other than sleeping, working, and sitting on my ass...
