As most anyone that has been paying attention to the national scene is aware, the Red River of the north has been flooding for the past week hitting a record crest of almost 41 feet in Fargo. As a result, many of the communities along the river have been at high alert with emergency and first responders at maximum preparedness. Schools have been closed since last week Wednesday and remain closed through this week. Hospitals, senior citizen homes and special needs people have all been evacuated.
The river has crested in Fargo, so as long as the dikes and levees hold, most citizens should make it through with little or no problems...which will be good...
So, sorry for infrequent attention here but hopefully things will return to normal some time this time...
In the mean time, here is a live 'Flood Cam' that is on the Moorhead, MN side of the Red River pointing towards Fargo ... you can see how high the water really is...
