I would've, but I'm in pracs. I'll prolly give you a call once I get out.

I'll be out throwing bags around all day tomorrow, and whenever I get a chance between school and work until whenever they stop.

On another note: If anyone has any extra drain plugs, we need a bunch for our house and my grandma's house.

Try Fargo Water 237-0222 or Northern Waterworks.
They also have expandable balls (muni balls) to plug the sewer lines too, but then you cannot use water.

What is your name, 00Accord?

They (crates) showed up today about 1:00 pm. Slow going for the first 100'. Had to place all material with the mini-ex. The tracked skidsteer couldn't make it up the hill. Tomorrow we have about 170' to go. Should take 1/2 day to finish.

Were going to put a couple rows on top where needed. Should be good to about 42.5' can still go higher if needed.

[Rexwagon]

well we have about 430k sandbags filled now. But we now need 2.5 million for the city of fargo. We need as many volunteers as possible. Just park at the fargo dome and a bus will take you to sandbag central. Even the cass county jail inmates are there filling sandbags.

We are now suppose to crest at 42.5 feet. The salvation army is still giving out free food, water and gatorade.

i havent heard 42.5 cause thats fuckville

ive heard anywhere from 37-41 hopefully the temps drop below 32 and it slows the melting process down a lot

[DelSlow]

Floods are great for the economy. God is just helping us out.

42.5 is the new most recent forcast, this is what i was told in my military briefing tonight.

Who was the source??

[Rexwagon]

My lietenant, who gets briefed by the colonels and general and that comes from the city and fema and all that shit

[Rexwagon]

Crest 42.5ft Thursday..

[XJHEAD]

I hope they are wrong. If we see that all the below in Yellow and then some will have water.

[Rexwagon]

thats why they bumped us up from 1.5 million to 2.4 million tonight. we will never fill that many sandbags.

[XJHEAD]

The perm. dikes and temp. ones cannot handle them anyways.

[Rexwagon]

we havent even started setting up any sandbags yet really. we have delivered some to some of the residential neighborhoods for them to set up but the majority of our bags are still sitting in the parking lot. I dont know exactly when we will start putting them up. Maybe tuesday?

[XJHEAD]

I'll be by with a trailer to pick some up for my house. I am not even in the yellow...............
