Grand Forks Part II
-
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.

I'm at work waiting for fedex to get here with an overnight shipment. I'll be up at the City of Fargo's emergency operations center installing some new voice T1s and re-routing all of their emergency calling away from city hall over these new circuits......
This is gonna be a tough day to work on phones w/ that many calls already routing to them...
