...Ahhh, yes, the beautiful Red River Valley.....home of corn, asperagus and sugar beets....
 Miss it like dental work.... although if it weren't for the yearly floods, it wouldn't be some of the richest farmland on Earth.......... |

I wonder if there's a way to melt the ice enough to let that drain...?

BECAUSE of the floods, it is the richest farmland on earth. Been busy hauling sandbags. Running a PLS truck with police escort to and from sandbag station to where they are needed. At home, we are building a dike to handle overland flooding. That is our only worry as of now, as generally where I live doesn't have to worry about it. No problems in the "great flood" of 97. Here's hoping!

My house and town are ok... for now at least. The closest water is down a little bit today. It was over the highway into town in the AM, and now is back off of it, so I guess that's a good sign for me.
Now I'm in Fargo fighting the flood with the Guard. They just upped the forcasted crest to 43', and are saying it could hold that level for up to 7 days!!  A few areas are being evac'd... guess we just have to wait and see what happens. We've hauled over 3 million sandbags already, and are still going. 12 hour shifts now, so i need to get to bed here soon, as the 12 hours always seem to streach out to 14+ I have some pics on my phone, when I get more time I'll try to post 'em up.

Well, water is going down around here still, which is good for me.
The Red is supposed to crest in Fargo tomorrow at 42ish feet, and hold that for as long as a week! Lets hope the dikes hold
