2009 FARGO FLOOD Part Three

The already exhausted Fargo and Moorhead communities continue to face the Red River head on and raise the surrounding dikes one more additional foot. As the dikes go higher, the temperature drops - wind chills into the negatives. But to family and friends outside of Fargo: We will persevere, we will survive and we will go on. We do what is heroic, simply because it is needed.

Having been through a devastating flood in 1997 in Grand Forks, my heart goes out to the good people of Fargo. This is not just a community united, this is a state united. There are many more people in our good state fighting the good fight. People who have not ever been to this part of the country do not understand the grit and determination of people in this region. Keep the faith.
