If you're in Grand Forks, there's still plenty that needs to be done around here. If you're a UND student, check with student government to see where you're needed and they will shuttle you to those locations. If you are not a student, then you should call this number: (701)787-8052 or report to the Alerus Center. I should point out that I showed up at the Alerus Center today and it was very disorganized and there wasn't even anyone there coordinating anything, it was basically a pick-up spot for buses to come every half hour. The buses were running pretty late and it was unfortunate that no one was there to give any guidance, so keep that in mind if you decide to go to the Alerus Center.
They still need our help in the Lake Drive area, that's where I was today and I'm happy to say the turnout was tremendous. There was a large amount of people helping out at homes up and down Lake Drive, but it appeared there's more work to be done.
I do have a few cell phone pictures I snapped over the past few days, I really wish I could get better pictures but it's becoming extremely difficult with the city in full flood-protection mode, and I do not want to get in the way of city employees.
The first picture is of a large red helicopter I saw in Fargo, I'm assuming this is some kind of rescue chopper but I could be mistaken.
These next two pictures were taken on the way to Fargo on Tuesday.
These next couple of pictures are views of the railroad bridge from the top of a parking ramp downtown.
These next two pictures are of us sandbagging in Grand Forks.
A few random flood notes:
Meritcare hosptial in Fargo has evacuated its patients to various hospitals in the region, a first for the hospital.
Mandatory evacuations are underway in Moorhead for areas south of I-94 and west of Eighth Street.
Travel is becoming extremely difficult with multiple roads closed/ closing. A list of road closures in Fargo can be found here.
The North Dakota Department of Emergency Services has a great website for flood preparedness set up here that I recommend you all check out.
There are a couple of webcams set up following the Red River at Fargo and Grand Forks.
I'm sure there are ton of other announcements I'm missing, so keep checking out the Herald and Forum websites for up-to-date typo-laden information. I realize they're working much faster over there, but seriously, one word: PROOFREAD.
Example from the Herald's website yesterday afternoon:
"The Louis Murray closes will the river level at at or near 48 feet, and as of 8:30 a.m., the Red River was at 45.6 feet. That's an increase of 2.8 feet from the Wednesday."
Baffling.
Current River Levels
Fargo: 39.92 feet
Grand Forks: 47.21 feet

Thanks for posting that North Dakota Department of Emergency Services website. Let's hope we don't need it... but GOOD to plan ahead!
