I just looked at all the river levels coming into the FM area, they are all jumping pretty good minus the Red.

The red is starting to go up 2 days early...ever so slightly

pwnd.

I'm blaming the river.

So Bill, gonna show me how to go fast with pushrods or should I buy a Mod Motor like the big kids do?

It all depends on how much of a "Oh Shit" factor you want.

Moorhead should be fun travel around in the next few weeks. Not that it wasn't already

Holy crap, the sheyenne is allready at 26 feet in horace and rising, thats almost 2 feet above it's peak on the 4th.

The maple and the wild rice are on the rise as well.

I was going to say, judging by being out in the Horace area the last week, the river was higher than before. They were building more dikes on 40th ave so today, which made traffic a blast!

Sure we can...I could delete 1/2 of the posts and lock it...just to spite you Bill.

HOLY FUCK

the water at my house in the last hour and a half has gone from..."well I'm definitely going to need my waders to get to my car in the morning" to "mother fucker, the water is higher than it was at the sheyenne's crest a week and a half ago" This is coming UNBELIEVABLY fast!

[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

Front porch looking east 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 moved out when Freitag moved back in. I live in close proximity to drain 27 right now.

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.
