Fargo Flood 2009: Part Six Blizzard
The water has come down quite a bit out on Cossette Drive, but the blizzard has come rolling in which makes for an interesting situation—well at least it makes for an interesting picture:
Remember, if you are driving near sandbags: Go Slow. We don’t want waves to wear down dikes protecting people’s homes. Stay safe out there.

Fargo Flood 2009: Part Five Friday
UPDATE: My brother just sent me this picture of what it looks like to get to your house on a boat. Its hard to believe all of the ice in the flood waters. Looks like getting the boats close enough to dry land is becoming difficult because of that ice. But at least he’ll be able to get the pumps into the neighborhood.
Latest Photo from Cossette Drive:
Made it through the night. Everything seems to be holding up so far, and even though Round Hill and the rest of the surrounding area is evacuating I think my parents will stick it out. My brother picked up 8 more pumps for the house and for a couple of neighbors. He should be at Cossette Drive soon, although we’re not sure how many boat trips will be necessary to get everything there. I’ll update this post if I get any more information or photos.
Hang in there Fargo.

Here are a couple of extra pictures from south of Fargo I’m been able to get a hold of. All of them are from the Cossette Drive area.
As you can see, people are still fighting the flood and sandbagging out at Cossette Drive. I’ll post more pictures as they come into my inbox.

It's going to be dicey this weekend, and I've heard the crest could hold at 42-43 feet for a full week. Bravo to your dad and all the other volunteers. I have a colleague here at work whose dad is a first responder in Fargo (and her mom works at a medical clinic there). He's been working pretty much non-stop for three days now.

I've heard that too, hopefully they won't be getting any more snow. I know that ice is a big problem, especially at night.
The volunteers and civil servants in F-town have been fantastic.
