Grand Forks Part II
-
well didnt go to sandbag central tonight. Right now I am taking a break from sandbagging close to my apartment. Down on south 42nd street. there is a diversion that is pretty high right now and when the river crests its expected to flood. They are building up earthen levees on the parts that dont have housing there, the rest is sandbags.

Off to drive the graveyard shift for a few hours.
Hopefully this superdike in Moorhead gets a good chunk done tonight.

I thought that was you on the forklift. The production line really changed since I was out there Monday. It was chaos then, now it's a finely tuned machine.yeah, just finally got home.
Things were much much better tonight than Monday night/ Tuesday morn when I was there. Worst part about it for me was the stupid people that don't know how to get out of the way or don't even flinch when you're sitting behind them with the forklift and the horn blaring (and then I get in trouble for getting 'too close' to them).
I'll probably be back there tomorrow at 6pm again...

Holy Shit thats a hell of a wall construction...how high is that good for?
With the added height, its good to 44.2 ft. We were at 42.2 and the city came and told us to build 1 ft higher last night. so we added our old 3 ft dike on top of the new 5 ft dike.Just so everyone knows, FM area has surpassed 2006 and 2001. This is now the 3rd largest flood in history and will continue to climb. Get out there and help make history. Lets kick this things ass!

My dads place is gone..........1' in basement and cannot stop it.
Sorry to hear that Bill. Just keep everyone safe and plug all your floor drains if you havent done so. The last thing fargo needs is a whole basement full of water in the sanitary sewer. -
joel you guys bracing that more or will that be fine?
-
well the place that I was going to help today is finished, soo can you just show up at the fargodome? because everytime I call the line is busy. Or does anyone on here need help, i got me and 2 other young fellas ready to help, but cant get a hold of the voulenter hotline, so we are either going to just show up at the dome, or if anyone needs help we could come
-
just go to the dome, really not as difficult as your making it seem.
