buddy, its gonna get worse and I hope your flood forecast are more accurate than ours have been. LOTS of water heading your way from Canada again

Our flood forecast has been updated so many time, people just keep adding another foot to the sand bags and dikes every week or two. our crest is now Aug 1 for our lakes.

Fight the good fight!!

n good luck

yeah.. i head that. the water that u r talking about isnt gonna flood bismarck/mandan area.. as that water doesnt get to us.

but your water is gonna flood minot.. they have all ready manditory evacuated 11,000 peple give or take a few.

they are saying that the souris river is gonna up another 9 feet. this flood up their will be the worst flood ever in the history. crushing last floods(1969) record by alot.

Wow Kyle!!! I am heading down Saturday for another load of trailers and head right through Minot. My thoughts and prayers go out to you guys!!! It was a lake in Minot three weeks ago, I can only imagine how much worse it has gotten. Take care man!
