Angry Flood Waters in North Dakota

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.

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.

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.
