The Grand Forks Herald reports that “Fargo wraps up fight.” This is bull. I am optimistic about this year’s flood, but there is plenty going on in flood preparation. I stopped by the Oak Grove neighborhood and there is all sorts of stuff going on just in that one area alone. There are sandbags that still need to be tossed and areas that need to be buttoned up. The fight is NOT wrapped up until the water goes down. This is the kind of complacency that people are talking about and the Grand Forks Herald should know better.
In addition, the article talks about Fargo and Moorhead, but fails to mention the numerous communities throughout Eastern North Dakota. Fargo and Moorhead might be getting close to feeling better about this crest, but there are plenty of other outlying communities and farmsteads that will need help throughout the region. This is not buttoned up.
