Title:
Fargo Moorhead 2009 - Flood water rising in the red river.
Description:
I thought this is an interesting video and I'd like to share with you all. Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota - USA. The Red River hitting record levels over the weekend (March 28th - 29th, 2009) as residents fill sandbags through the night while some evacuated.Thousands flee Fargo ahead of the menacing floodwaters. Chilly temperatures slow rise of the Red River.Thousands of shivering, tired residents got out while they could and others prayed that miles of sandbagged levees would hold. National Guard troops spread out in the bitter cold to inspect floodwalls for leaks and weak spots, and residents piled sandbags on top of 12 miles of snow-covered dikes. Hundreds more Guard troops poured in from around the state and neighboring South Dakota, along with scores of Salvation Army volunteers and American Red Cross workers from as far away as California. ---------------- what residents are saying: "Oh boy,when u pull those people together... what a great sense of community." "Volunteers have travelled hundeds of miles to help." "the race to keep the river back can only intensify, everyone is needed." "Volunteers are filling more than 2 million sand bags inside fargodome." (why are u helping?) "others would have done the same for us." "It's gonna be ok." (Cause of the flood ?) "A late spring blizzard . Dumping as much as 40 inches of snow." "Every once in a while we have to be reminded that we are memebers of the human race." "Giving up is not an option." "What an incredible effort is going on here..We are hoping for good news." ----------------
