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.

Swing and a miss.

Seriously though, Bill is right. The dikes are not even being stressed that hard yet and have to take a week more. It will be a miracle if they all hold.Vette said this so it must be true. He's older, thus he knows about dikes and stress levels. Duh. Common people.

Well, on a lighter note.
I was at Michelson Park today with about 200 other people and we were going to town raising the bags they had there. After about 4 hours or so, the NG/City of Fargo engineers measured it and said "Holy crap why are we doing this?" Apparently with all the help that people were giving it was no built to about 45'.
