3rd Ave North

This is 3rd Ave. across from the library and Civic Center. Notice the 3rd Ave. sign and the stop light. It gives you a feeling of how high the dike is and they are still working to maintain the dike.

Main Ave. Veterans Memorial Bridge 2


This a bench at the beginning of the bridge. The river is slowly flowing over the edge and down the wall and bench.

Main Ave. Veterans Memorial Bridge

Fargo Dome on Thursday

This is a picture of the Dome on Thursday. We were able to make sandbags and deliver due to the nicer weather. The weather has become colder and the sandbags need to stay inside until needed. Which is the other picture of the sea of sandbags.

Homes on Elm

This is the backside of the homes we tried to save. The sandbags are at 42 feet trying to move to 43 and the water was so close you could stand on the top of the dike and dip your toe into the river. Very quite and uncalming.

Elm Street

This is a picture of Brett, Christian and my friend Traci. We tried to assist the homes on the right, they are on the wrong side of the dike and needed help sandbagging on the backside of their homes. When we left these homes they were losing the battle. We have not found out if the homes are o.k. yet.

This is a picture this afternoon of the Dome. The Dome is 1/2 full of sandbags. We have topped the amount of bags to 3 million bags filled in 5 days. WAY TO GO FARGO.
