When you are walking up the street and pointing at a house with a white garage door, I think that is our old house! I really hope you and everyone in your neighborhood are dry! I have been praying for everyone in the area, and really apppreciate seeing the human side of the flood from your videos.

I used to rollerblade through your area when I was in high school. I now live outside of West Fargo and all I can say is hang in there! It will soon be over and we can breathe again. Thank you so much for this footage. My kids and I have been making food for all the baggers but I haven't been able to see anything. The mind always assumes the worst. Thanks for concrete, real footage. I'll be sending this to everyone I know that isn't fighting this upfront. God bless you and your family!

Your videos bring the human element into this in a very big way. Thank you so much for devoting energy to this, even when we know you and your family must be running on empty. This perspective is so much better than what can be found in mainstream news in their short clips.

Thanks for the videos!

My dad's house which is on the river is just a few houses away from your parent's house.

I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I think alot of people needed to see the real side of whats going on in the area. The TV coverage doesn't show the heart in the community as much as you accomplished. Thanks again and great job!

I was sandbagging in north moorhead all day on friday. The roads there look the same, and they are pumping all the water from the streets into the secondary aqua dike. I must live near you.. I live behind Casey's and made it home in time to see the Gaurd trucks rushing by. Best of luck to you!! Hang in there

Thanks for the update. You have eloquently captured the intense emotions of your family's struggle. So nice to see that you are safe and your spirits are picking up.
