Bismarck Flood
« on: May 27, 2011 9:44 PM »
I know you guys out east (F/M and GF) are use to floods every spring but it looks like Bismarck is going to get it’s ass kicked. What is different from the floods out east and this one is they are talkin’ it will last till maybe August. That’s a long time to know if you will have a home to go back to.

Listening to the press conference now. Sounds pretty bad still. They seemed a little more optimistic about the levels.

My sister lives in an area that could get flooded.  Aaron was down today to help sandbag while I stayed her to watch Hudson and her kids.  It is way crazy that they say that this flood is going to be here for awhile.  It will definitely affect some summer plans around here.

Yeah, didn't think it was that bad till I saw pics the other day. Was gonna come up and help sand bag this weekend but had to work. If there is anything that we can do for anyone let us know. We've got some room for storage if needed and car trailers for moving things if you need 'em. We are a couple hours away but willing to help. Hope things get better soon.
...And if you call in the next 20 minutes, cause we can't do this all day...

The Classtiques Car Club is meeting tonight to decide what to do about their rod run. Buggies N' Blues has moved their date to some time in August.

I heard that buggies was moved to the end of July on the Radio today but I could be wrong.  Just thought I would throw that out there.
