Thanks I live in EGF MN along the River. I was also here in 1997 for the flood when they evacuated the whole town of 50,000 peeps- We crested then at 54ft expected crest this time is 53ft. We now have dikes in place since so hopefully it will be a better result then last time. Until then we'll keep watching the river- supposed to crest on Sunday or Monday.
So much for "500 year flood" huh

PEREZ! I live in fargo and let me tell you, it is getting bad! Even though the streets are covered in ice and snow, and volunteers are despereatly neede, the evil company that is Macy's (where I work) still refuses to close.

Things are NOT looking good, even as write this new information is released about river levels.

Thank you Perez for publicizing this story.

I think every person's hometown is inevitably a part of them–Fargo is my hometown and it's terrible to see the environment I grew up in and from slowly get destroyed.

Re: AtomicKitty – The only problem is…this flooding has been happening since the formation of the Red River Valley. The record this flood is getting close to was set in 1897. Not a lot of greenhouse gas emissions at the start of the Industrial Revolution… This isn't global warming. It is an ever present threat that the people in the region deal with every year. I'm not saying global warming doesn't exist. I'm just saying get your facts straight before you attempt to make a generalization.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts. As of now most of the small towns just outside of Fargo are completely under water. I have been volunteering w/ the sandbagging efforts for the past few days, and so many people have turned out to help. There is a great sense of community and an awesome work ethic that is keeping us going!

Thanks for showing the support Perez! It's so hard hearing how my hometown and college town are both going under. I wish I could be home to help! Praying for all our friends and family of all of ND! North Dakotans are tough they can make it through anything. I have to say the response to this article has a lot more postitve energy than the last one posted about ND. Thanks to those of you who know we are not all hicks and corn husking sluts as previously stated by other states in the last article.

Re: mwfl16 –

Do your research. It's not normal to be under a Tornado Warning, Flood Warning, and Blizzard Warning all at the same time. It's not normal to have two 100 year floods in less than 15 years. Yes, the Red River floods. However, it does not flood in such an extreme manner, as it shouldn't.

I miss Fargo a great deal. LA is great and all, but I wish I were able to be back home helping out. Thanks to all of you Perez readers back in North Dakota who are doing what you can!

I'm from Fargo and attending school in another state and I can't go home and help, and it's so awful watching my this happen to my hometown and not being able to do anything, my neighborhood was evacuated today! Thanks so much for your support!

I just wanted to say that I love you and thank you for thinking of us out in the middle of nowhere…North Dakota. I was here in Grand Forks, ND for the massive flood of 1997 and I'm still here. I'm definitely feeling for my friends in Fargo, Bismarck, and here in GF. I thought the next time I would see sand would be on a beach sipping pina coladas, but no such luck. I will have to stick with sandbagging and a few bottles of Boones.

Perez: Yea for posting this!! It's nice to know someone in Sunny Cali knows what's going on in the rest of the world.. Even though people say 'ND is a frozen wasteland' fuck 'em. I lived there for 23 years until my husband dragged me out kicking and screaming. I feel helpless here.. STUCK in Nebraska I should be up there helping my fellow Nodakkys!! We lost our home in the 97 flood..I feel so bad for everyone right now.. If I didnt have the three kids/job I'd be up therhe sandbagging my ass off!! Stay safe!!

Thanks for the shout out, Perez! I'm in Grand Forks, which was under water in 1997 but is doing OK now. We're more worried about Fargo, which is now under mandatory evacuation advisories. This is a precaution–we hope the dikes will hold. Keep us in your thoughts.
