A guy at work heard that there is a military rumor going around that they might evacuate Fargo, anyone else hear this?My brother works for the state as an electrical inspector. His boss is on some sort of state disaster board (not sure what it is called). That board had a meeting last night. 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.

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.

I wasn't sure. What feet would we start to have to worry?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'.

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 -

i have lots of pictures from the past few days from when i had time to take them. , i hope to post them soon. I thought it was odd to see SD HP Blocking i-94 I know there is Mutual aid and all but interstate Mutual aid this far from the border makes you think something big is going on. I have seen 3 news helicopters and a guard/army blackhawk and a dolphin helicopter in the air today! it's getting unnerving wondering whats going on.
Update: Listening to the scanner, sounds like they are closing the tri-level. and i-94 east is CLOSED for mutual aid ambulances. I dont know about west but the hp is blocking the westbound ramps too.
