Grand Forks Part II

My mustang = goner more than likely
Went out to a coworkers place yesterday to help raise his dike up another 2 or 3 feet, he didn't expect he'd need it. Today he called and said water is up on the dike and is at least a foot higher than levels in 97. He lives on the wild rice south of Fargo about 5 miles.
Sunday
Yesterday (tree in middle here is tree on right in above picture)
It was up another half foot or so horizontally from the time I took that last picture to the time we left.

nws is fuckin worthless

Nemzek is now asking for volunteers 24 hours a day!
-
I bagged for 4 hours this morning up at Oakport and there is alot of standing water causing issues up there as it is already.
-
i will be working at check in at Nemzek 4am - 8am...they are asking for volunteers to come in overnight tonite as well!
If you are a college student PLEASE make sure you are taking the shuttles to and from your college as the extra cars are making it difficult for city and emergency vehicles to do their work!
-
Sounds like ill be shuttling from 8-? After that ill go pull a graveyard shift somewhere in nemzek
-
just a note...anyone other than people in comas have no reason not to be putting out some sort of effort! Shuttle drivers are needed, sandbaggers, people at volunteer sign up stations...heck if you have to work, drop off a bag of snacks or pack of pop at a volunteer site or Fargodome or Nemzek. Everyone can at least support all the volunteers!
-
taking a break and warming up for a little while, I've been outside in this shit since around 9 this morning...the water is coming up quick in my area but we are all still fine and the roads are still above water....I'm going to put up some pics in the flood pictures thread in a few minutes.

There is no excuse to be sitting on your butt in a time like this.

on my way back to the Fargodome to run forklift. Might very well be up there until they start shutting down tonight.I thought that was you on the forklift. The production line really changed since I was out there Monday. It was chaos then, now it's a finely tuned machine.

+1 I killed my back pretty good yesterday, and could barely stand up today but still helped out. Heading to walmart right now to get some tylenol and icy hot. I hate to say it but I think the river might go over 41ft. Going to go kick back a few then go help a friends uncle in the morning.

My friend's mom in OakCreek needs help desperately. Their dike is high enough but is only half as wide it should be for that height. The city called the whole neighborhood a "sacrifice" and is building a dike behind it. The city moved all the volunteers away to other areas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Call 585-217-2711 or just stop by if you can help. I'll be there whenever my back is strong enough to let me walk right again.
