If any of my friends here on Blog Catalog are interested, I've posted a blog with my story about our fight with the 2009 Red River Flood. I've included a variety of personal photos and my own account of living 2 blocks from the swollen banks of the Red.

Thanks for checking it out and helping to shed some light on what we're going through way up North.

Thanks for posting this. I've been following along - it's big news in Minneapolis - but your personal perspective really brings it home. And some of your pictures are chilling. It makes me nervous just to look at them. Please, please be safe. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

They said on the news this evening that tomorrow the river is supposed to crest. Good luck.

I sympathize - Fargo seems to be at the height of the threat but it's thought that we're only going to be near 41' instead of over 42' as the worst projections were showing. I hope that Grand Forks also stays lower than the forecast numbers. If we can all hold out for a week or so at this level things should begin to get better.
