Grand Forks Part II

[darkelvis]

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 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
