Rick,
Yeah, depens on the rain now. Raining right now, but not hard. They dropped the crest to 39-40', so that gives a little breating room unless we get a gully washer this weekend.

Pretty much everything on the Red is pretty good, should crest tomorrow, the Sheyenne is raising hell north of West Fargo, looks like worse than 97.

I heard on the news that the Red had a historic crest in Fargo- was it that bad?

No, couple feet under the record. Fargo was pretty much bagged and diked to 42 feet, it appears to have crested at about 38.5 feet, recoed is 40.8.
The Sheyenne however is only a tenth or so off the record North of West Fargo. Up there, the highway that runs past me is completely under water, and appears to be still going up yet as of last night.
