      Also when I went on shift last night at 11, we got the sandbag report. 2.7 million filled, 2.2 million being used, the rest were for back up. But they wanted more. so not sure how sandbag central did last night, since I wasnt there.

        FLOOD UPDATE: Fargo, Moorhead schools closed next week, other districts to likely follow suit
        Moorhead Public Schools will close schools all next week. Fargo Public Schools expects to cancel school all next week, too, and other area school districts speculate they'll follow suit.

            I think that its starting its peak.

            In stead of 2 tenths a foot per hour, its now down to like in the one hundredths of a foot range per hour. I'd be surprised if it hit anywhere above 42

Anyway his boss told him that if the dike shows any kind of weakness in the next couple of days, Fargo will be evacuated. They have a plan in place to close I-94 from Bismarck to Fargo, allowing people in Fargo to evacuate.

                    You need what, 10 inches of snow to accumulate 1 inch of water?

                      I have not heard this, but I can not say its not true, we did just get another 500 troops in and now south dakota is sending up 250 more to us.

                        yes

                        I was just down to Osgood and the drain down there is just at the top of its banks and there is a solid 3' of sandbags or Hesco Barriers along it yet.

                                well if no levees were in place you'd probably have water in the streets. I just don't forsee anything getting out of that drain down there and we're not going to get anything from the East. West Fargo sounds fine too - although if the diversion did spill it'd go west anyway.

                                I'm supposedly higher here and was to be dry at 41'.

                                  I moved stuff up and/or out of my basements, but I'm not going any further until the storm drains actually start spewing out backed up water.

                                        Looks like my lead might happen? I mean if they are gonna close the interstate then the only thing it could be used for is evac
