Do you think the people in Fargo are gonna make it?

[himperv203]

Hi,

Tonight we (the people of Fargo- Moorhead, Nd/Mn, USA) face a threats from mother nature. On one hand we know that the Red River is rising to its dangerous levels while we have a snow storm which is not helping us out any way. The people of Fargo-Moorhead have been working day and night to make sand bags and build dykes to stop the Red River from overflowing. In fact more than 2.5 millon sandbags have been filled in less than 5 days by volunteers. I have seen people of different ages groups and sexes come out of their homes and contribute to this comman cause. And yet tonight we all face the threat because the water levels on the Red river is going to rise to an all time high. Do you think the effort put by the people is going to bear fruit? Do you think the Dykes will be able to withstand the hydrostatic pressures of the flood?

I don't think so. Winnipeg has a large floodway to devert the river from the city, but it has failed before. It seems to be working so far, though. If Fargo floods (Which it probably will), I'm expecting to see Winnipeg flood again.

Tough as nails, self sufficient and community oriented are the peoples who reside in the interior.
I forward them my best wishes.

YES

Do you think the Dykes will be able to withstand the hydrostatic pressures of the flood?

They'll be fine as long as the spirits of the people there are highg and they stick together to fix things.

I've been seeing some news reports that sound much more hopeful - I'm thinking they might really get off without much major damage from this. At least not a major catastrophe.

Fargo's a nice city - I was there once, back in 2005.

Hey good news. So far the dyke is holding up. And the water level is going down.

 

[Wainkerr99]

Good News ! How 'bout that !

Everybody involved deserves a pat on the back, a six pack of Mickey's Big Mouth®, 2 shots of Jager and big "mountain oyster" cook off ! :uohs: :jester:

This was a community effort ! Had it not been for the tenacity of a ''Free Fargo People'', The Federal Government would have yet another fiscal disaster to attend to. :glugglug:
