I live on the bank of the Assiniboine River about 2 blocks from where it meets the very overflowing Red River....you know the one that is causing so much concern in Fargo and Grand Forks?
Well, for days I've been telling the agency that the water is rising fast! I can look out my window and see the water level in relation to our parking lot. Yet nothing has been done to build a sand bag dike!
Yesterday I looked out and the water was nearly at the edge of our parking lot, which slopes towards the building.
Today I look out and it's right at the edge and spilling over in a large area.
It's now 8:30 pm and there is a truck just now delivering sand bags! I sure hope they plan on slapping some of them down tonight, because I may be evacuated by morning if the water hits our basement and they have to cut off the gas and electricty!
