If at all possible try to find somewhere to store your things until threat of flood is over.
We have flooding around the St. Louis area but, not us, we live up high and have no worries. I'm sorry you do have to worry about floods.

Will keep you and your area in my prayers. Stay safe.

Gee, I forgot about that. I guess Noah will probably add another ark for a generator!

Thanks everyone for your prayers. The river is now at 34.44' & still rising. The weather is getting colder so that will help slow the melt down. If all the dikes hold we should make it unless God throws us a curve ball.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone else in your area. Here in hurricane land, I know what the "wait" is like -- when, how high, how bad, what do I take, where do I go, how will I get through another major cleanup, will the insurance help out -- and on and on. Keep the gas cans filled and the generators in good shape. We'll be watching the forecasts along with you. God bless you all.

Prayers and good wishes to you and all the Fargo folks. A few years ago (1995 or 96) the Red River floods around Grand Forks, ND/Minn devastated my cousin's home and filled my aunts basement with water clear to the rafters in the basement. It was awful. Another cousin had an upstairs so they moved everything upstairs and put all their hunting rifles on the beds so they wouldn't get wet...the water reached to 8 inches from the ceiling on the second floor...everything was lost. I think their dike broke on the flood plane where they lived. I hope your dikes hold and that all turns out OK for you folks.

I was raised in Davenport Iowa and flooding was an annual event. Not fun.

My prayers go with you and all of the rest in this terrible situation. I've been through that in another town before Marengo. We go through it too, but they have built a levee nearly around the town and the only place that needs sandbagging is at the ends at the river bridge. When we lived in our house, we always kept 2 sump pumps in the basement and ready to go the second the river got up enough for ground water to start seeping in. Will be thinking of you often, and GOD BLESS.

My prayers are with you. Say hello to Noah & the gang.
