rollin' on the river

do do do do do...

so yeah, I’m starting to get a bit freaked out. About the river. Rising. The red river. The red river rising. I keep getting these tweets from @fargofloodstage that tell me the current level of the river (at 9:42 am pacific on tues: "The Red River at Fargo ND is at 28.2 ft which is 10.2 ft above flood stage." YES. That is UP THREE FEET from yesterday). And then I got a tweet from @inforum saying they urgently need sandbaggers. And what am I doing?? Sitting on my ass in california working for the man. Literally. There is a man I work for. So yes, this is all starting to freak me out a bit. Can people go out and sandbag for me? And can you give me updates? How is it all going? What level is your house at?

[urgent need for sandbaggers!!]

For those not in fargo, here are some links so you can keep up-to-date:

• in-forum home page (local newspaper)
• red river flood map (via in-forum)
  
• flood cam (view from moorhead, looking AT fargo (across the river) - check back often to see what level the water is at)
  
• #fargoflood twitter search (other twitter hashmarks to use include #flood10 and #fargoflood (or #fmflood).
• great website - fargoflooding.com
• pictures from fargo flooding website
  
• valley flood watch (website with flood stuff)
  

you can also subscribe to the flood rss feeds by adding this: http://www.inforum.com/event/rss.group/group/Flood/ to your reader as i just did.
