Grand Forks Part II
-
I just got back into town from oakport. Nothing like driving thru 1ft deep water on your street.
Water started coming up thru the storm dains at like 3pm. It turned North Crystal Creek into a mess!! I tried to take some pics when I was up there; but, my mom's camera died
They should be getting me some tomorrow. We got most of our houses up to 43-43.5ft according to the county people that where out today.We had a couple bus loads of high school students from Staples, MN. that where up in our subdivision. It was really nice of them to come down here. Even nicer for the schools to let them!

Well we were told at 10pm that we were in a mandatory evacuation by 6am. Now we are told they are having a meeting with the MFD and MPD tomorrow at 8am. They told us that even though there was a mandatory evac, we should keep our pumps running. So my dad is going to stay there overnight and into the morning. We had pulled the sumps and let the patio fill with a little water right before we had got the call. we were ready to be done fighting and let the water come and all of a sudden my dad decides to keep going... jesus its gonna be one hell of a weekend...

I just exercised said evacuation with quickness. Turns out they sent it out to a neighborhood that was not involved. Good luck man!

what a hell of a week.
you guys are doing a lot, i see Fargo/Moorhead on the news 5-10 times a day.
Just insane seeing how many people are out helping. Looks like the city basically shut down just to sand bag. good job.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

everything south of main and north of I-94, west of 8th street. I am in that area, which means if i get water, concordia will be under 2 feet of water.Kirk i know lives in the area too. Anyone else?
I dont live west of 8th, but its only about 4 blocks away, and if you guys get wet, I will most likely be getting wet(according to the maps). Flood proofed the house last night as much as possible, and checked the check valve at the sewer(greatest thing EVER!). I have a feeling this will start to get interesting real soon.
