They have pushed the crest of the river up to Thursday night/Friday morning at around 40 with a 40% chance of hitting 41. This is 1/2 ft above 97 and is coming MUCH faster.

We are surveying areas never discussed in 97. We are starting to construct a dike all the way to Fleet Farm on I29.

If anybody has any spare time Fargo needs you.

Been pulling 12 hour shifts at sandbag central. To say that the volunteer efforts going on throughout the FM area right now is nothing short of exceptional, is an understatement. Have talked to people from all over Mn and Nd showing up to help the fight. Last night, as we were out of sand for a time, we noticed a group of volunteers working in the rain, on a small pile of sand the loaders could not pick up.

A big thank you to all who are helping. We could not do this without you.
