WOW is all I can say right now. What a battle. I mainly stayed out of town and concentrated my efforts on the Farm Owners I know and their neighbors. Let’s hope this storm stays to the way South, but it looks like this will latest snow will pile onto the water totals for the people along the Red and the tributaries. 
The big thing I noticed wile I was up there was the people right in town are getting a lot of help and support from Volunteers, City, , Police, Fire Dept, National Guard, and etc. It is the people to the South and North parts of Fargo and Moorhead in the rural communities that really at times are left to fight this alone. These are the areas where it really reminds me what good people are up there. The kind of people that will do anything for a neighbor or stranger kind of people. This battle is far from over with as the water has receded a little, but let me be the first to say it is still Winter up there with snow still around and more coming, so it ain’t over yet. These levels will continue to rise and fall and stay at a very high alarming rate. The whole time eating away and eroding the dikes put in place. The quicker the water can come down the better off these people will be, but they are predicting at least another 4-7 days of these record levels. I was very impressed with the organization and planning these two major cities did. At the start, they were actually directed by the Federal Government and FEMA to evacuate the City. Both Cities stood up against the Federal Government and FEMA and said NO WAY, we are staying and fighting. The Resolve, Determination and Work Ethic of the people in this area will pull this area through. IMO there will be some areas that will lose this battle, but overall they will conquer. However there is a long fight to be had yet. GOD BLESS these people!
