31.8 feet

We can't get to the river today - earthen dikes and sand bag dikes are cutting off access to the park where we were taking pictures.


Fargo reached 1 million sandbags this morning and we are now in stand-by mode as we wait for the last 8 feet. The high school kids in the area are the true heros this go round - the colleges are on spring break, so the our kids have been excused from classes to be on the bagging lines. The middle schoolers who don't want to be left out are at sand-bag central (Fargo Dome).

School has not been cancelled so Jim's and my life have been very normal - minus a few students. It feels weird and very uneventful since our lives are remaining so normal. It's amazing to see some of the photos from the overland flooding that is occuring.
