Red River Rising

The Red River of the North continues to rise in Fargo. The crest is now expected Saturday at an all-time historical height of 41 feet.

City leaders at the 1:30 PM news conference called for more volunteers as 500,000 additional sandbags will need to be made, distributed, and installed to increase the height of the dikes we've been building for the last week. Complicating everything going on with the flood preparations is the snow that we received last night...and as you might expect it is a little chilly outside today too!
