With the added height, its good to 44.2 ft. We were at 42.2 and the city came and told us to build 1 ft higher last night. so we added our old 3 ft dike on top of the new 5 ft dike.

Just so everyone knows, FM area has surpassed 2006 and 2001. This is now the 3rd largest flood in history and will continue to climb. Get out there and help make history. Lets kick this things ass!

Sorry to hear that Bill. Just keep everyone safe and plug all your floor drains if you havent done so. The last thing fargo needs is a whole basement full of water in the sanitary sewer.

joel you guys bracing that more or will that be fine?

[Bp-08]

well the place that I was going to help today is finished, soo can you just show up at the fargodome? because everytime I call the line is busy. Or does anyone on here need help, i got me and 2 other young fellas ready to help, but cant get a hold of the voulenter hotline, so we are either going to just show up at the dome, or if anyone needs help we could come

[DrifterExtreme]

just go to the dome, really not as difficult as your making it seem.

I saw shane and Jason at sandbag central last night. They were kicking ass and taking names. Good to see everyone out there. I was working with a 60 year old guy. I have yet to see anyone work as hard as he did. He busted his ass for 6 straight hours. All of you that are helping are freaking awesome! God bless everyone of you. Keep up the great work.

[Trafik Jamz]

Wish I was there to help guys, I am down in MPLS working right now. I'll be back friday evening and if help is still needed, give me a call otherwise I'm heading to the dome.

City of fargo is issuing a code red! All citizens of fargo, all hands on deck. Everyone who is available, get your ass to the fargodome and help sandbag!

Dont know if they need you at the dome as much as they need you on the front lines

Go to the dome first... they'll bus people out.

[fdfreak]

kfgo just said they need people filling sandbags. but ultimately, it doesnt matter where you go. just as long as your helping. if one place is overloaded, they will bus you somewhere where they do need you. just go to the fargo dome and they will direct you from there.
