Ya talked to a Mcdonalds store in Fargo this morning (I work for "corp" mcdonalds) anyways and she said she lived right by the river and is kicking her self for not having flood insurance. :icon_scratch: Why would you not have flood insurance if you lived by the river in this area, kinda dumb if you ask me

Now i am just a dry side resident, but i thought you were required to carry flood insurance if you were within a set flood plain?

No.

A lot of people do not have flood insurance.

Good vid...Went there last yesterday about 600 and there was no room so we went to the new trollwood by my house and they were done already, my wife and i were very impressed with the no bullshit attitude going on, crazy what a mass amount of people can do!

[STiSchucky]

yea dont know whats really left in Fargo to volunteer with.. sounds like we're almost there.

Bismarck on the other hand..sounds like theyre getting f'd

[treimche]

Oh god Bismarck is getting destroyed by this shit right now. They're forcing a LOT of evacuations. It's amazing the amount of people helping out with all of this, and everyone's attitudes are good too, which is good for Fargo.
