Flood Fight 2010

[harwood39]

water is going up fast.... if this keeps up, we will hit flood stage by 2 am... they say 18.1 by sunday, but looks sooner than that. Fargo is having an emergency city flood meeting tomorrow at 8am.... sandbaggers needed... they are giving out incentives now to volunteers. Like bon jovi tickets, and other things...

it is rising at a rate of about .1 ft an hour... and as of 915 it was at 17.64

the Wild Rice of MN went up 4 ft over night... Buffalo in Dilworth went up 4 ft in 24 hours...

18.35 @ 415am

The city needs to kick their ass in gear. they are basically going to need to place all dikes/sandbags in 4 days...

[Rexwagon]

They started alerting a few guard members now.

The city was going to put a clay dike in south fargo, where there were Hesco's last year by the golf course. But once again they procrastinated again and now discovered its to wet to use the equipment in the locations so they are going to try to sandbag it. LOL

[fdfreak]

we got the word today. Its not a definite yet but I am guessing we will be activated by wed.

[STiSchucky]

are we gonna die?

I just hope work closes like last year. A couple days off would sure be nice.

[Raider]
