Every thing from Ft. Peck to Lousiana

Keep a good portion of this country in your prayers. All the dams are to capicity and from the sounds of it South Bismarck will be for all intensive purposes will intentionally be washed away.  We are doing everything we can to sandbag build dikes ect.  It's just going to be messy.

Just as we here in eastern ND started to breathe easy witht eh Red, Sheyenne, Maple, Wild Rice and other rivers dropping, the Missouri goes and gets all pissy and full and stuff.

Hang in there DR, prayers aloft.

Yeah, but you guys are used to it.  Usually the Corps doesn't allow us have enough water to drink.

I have several friends in the Dakotas that are fighting this again this year.  I remember you all often, and will continue to do so.

When I think of flooding I remember when I was young and watching the moving The Blob.  There is nothing you can do to stop the rising waters, and it just slowly overtakes you until it is ready to stop.

Hope things are holding for you!


Hang tough, and we'll continue to pray!

So far so good, but the next test is when the Corps increases the flow from Garison Dam.  IF the Corps decides to releas 200,000cfs South Bismarck is gone
