Randall Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 No kidding. It doesn't look good right now. They are bringing in trucks to try and raise the dikes by a few feet I hope it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Runt Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We have a store in my territory there. I think it's far enough away from the river. :fingerscrossed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellab Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 My sister is at a friends house with my nephew and here husband is on sewage watch. She is pregnant and feels horrible that she can't help. They carried everything up stairs two days ago. My brother sent his wife, son, and mother in law to Milbank to stay with my folks for at least the weekend. He figures he is good until 44 feet. Doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
