Joel's house is safe. I just spoke with him on the phone about a half hour ago. His neighbor's dike failed and they are pulling sandbags and slowly letting it fill to the contingency dike in the street. Joel and his dad sandbagged around their house so they are protected from the neighbor. They are basically playing the waiting game now.

jesus this shit is so fucked up..information that is.. My wife and i were told that there could be a possible evac ALL of fargo,west fargo and moorhead??? Then the height of the river jesus i have heard about 20 different heights...40.32,40.47,40 this 40 that and just 20 minutes ago i was told from my boss that it was at 40.75 and has been like that since 4:15??? NOW on the weather channel they say its a 42?? WTF man the info is just getting crazy....They did a dry run with shutting down the interstate from Jamestown today. I'm sure they were testing how long it would take to completely clear it and reroute it. Theres no reason they closed it for as short as they did, only to reopen it. If we evac, it will be both sides of the road.

nuts. hard to imagine living in the actual city part that theres shit that looks like that just a few miles away..
good to hear about joels battle.

My brother and i hauled sandbags Thursday and Friday to help build up the sandbag dike on so 2ND st near so river shore DR in moorhead. We have 6 sump pumps, a big gas powered pump, and a generator with 30 gallons of gas setup. :icon_cheers:
Anyone here live in this neighborhood? :icon_scratch:

DelSlow: "I live by the water treatment plant so im good. If we go under you'll all fucked."
Then the DelSlow: "does anyone have spare sandbags" post
Then you ended up leaving right? Yes you are the source of truth. Pffffftttttt.

If you guys think every dike is going to make I think you're wrong..... I hate to say it, but something will fail somewhere before this is done. Do the city officials know it, probably, would they say it, never. These dikes have never been tested to these pressures and the extra weight we have on top of them.

if they build it right its got a chance, for every foot you raise it build it out 2 feet.
we'll see.
