[darkelvis]

The sound and site of the water literally rushing through my front yard right now is INSANE...

Front porch looking southeast 1:00 AM

I just heard a FEMA breifing. They are talking with Congress on how to alleviate the high waters in the FM area. They are talking about starting a much wider channel starting at 90 Ave. S in Moorhead from river almost up to 75 and going North with it to 80 Ave. then use 3rd St. up North to 40 th Ave. then use 8th St/75 North again.

I made that up but I wasn't too far off.. lol

I wish. Stuck putting in my 40+ at the day job hoping our servers could handle the spike in traffic plus 40-50 hours at the Fargodome running equipment each week.

Which is why I'm that much more worried about problems at my place with the water.
And why I'd like to find a trailer this winter yet.

eesh..
time to start packing.

[Trafik Jamz]

even more worrying is looking at the snow/water equivalent. Last year was dry compared to this year. Glad I live between the Sheyenne and the diversion...fail safe in both directions
