I must apologize.. these last weeks have been crazy. First, it was spring break, then it was super Flood week and now.. well, it's blizzard/flood week. We have ANOTHER week off from school due to the threat of the river and the flooding. I've lifted more sandbags in the last weeks than I ever thought possible..... I also saw Fargo on the national news more than I ever expected. It's been a trying week, as it's scary to see more ambulances, Sand trucks and Red cross disaster relief vehicles than anything else. There were sandbag trucks escorted by police cars and people doing their best to hold back the waters. It's been an experience that I will NEVER forget...! I hope you enjoy the update!!!

A road that you can normally drive on.... they put up a contingency dike right down the middle of the street... this happened all over town.
A little adventure down to the Red River... just to check things out...Even this has a TON of sandbags around it...
I would not recommend using those stairs...
