oh, in Oakport...

Could be interesting. Dilworth Fire was going to leave a truck in Oakport because all the roads would get shut down but it sounded like another department was going to take it. Coworker from DFD is no longer online either - so maybe they're trying to make it up there.
This was my girlfriends grand parents house. They had evacuated already so there fine. No fire departments were able to make it out there and let it burn down.

hey kirk, woodlawn is just now starting to overflow, so i would expect some street water your way by this evening. just a thought.

Apperently it's 32+ degree for the next week with snow on Monday and heavy snow on Tuesday.

Oh really? Yeah just hurt they were working on it, and it "broke" and the police basically yelled for them to run and get out. No one was being allowed back in. Haven't heard any more.

[XJHEAD]

Mine is a rumor too.

[STiSchucky]

Nicks dad said it was a breech and it was "bad"

[harwood39]

I am packed and ready to go. I do not plan on leaving fargo unless they force me. We have pumps and generators at my rents place ready to go. I moved all my basement stuff as i live right across from meritcare... My main floor will be fine, but the basement will be full if something happens.

This is getting rediculous. I know we have a lot more troops coming in. We are gonna have like 1700 here. There is about 900 now.
