Figured I would just make this so I can keep you guys updated on what's going on out here. Last I heard Obama declared ND a 'Federal Disaster Area'.

As for what's going on here, lots of people have gone to help sand bag houses outside of the levies and dikes. Also earlier this week a bunch of people went down to Fargo to sand bag because they are getting the flooding worse than we are right now.

If anything new happens out here I'll let ya guys know.

Wow, thats some scary stuff Anthony.

Hang in there, be safe bud

Thanks Jack.

As of now UND has canceled all of today's afternoon classes as well as Friday and Monday so students can help fill sand bags in areas that need it.

approximately how high is the water level right now?

47.13 feet
