Flood 09'

The reality of what is coming has hit the residents of the Fargo/Moorhead area. This area knows what its like for raging waters to come rushing in and threaten life as we know it, but every time the waters rise people are filled with fear. Families have made their homes and memories here, and this flood threatens to take it all away. With every volunteer that comes out it gives residents hope of saving all that they have. Some volunteers may be family and friends, but most are absolute strangers. The best thing about this whole situation is people helping people. It doesn't matter if you know anyone or not. It is the fact that one person can help make a difference. The aches and pains from sandbagging are only temporary but the memories of doing a good deed will last for a life time. Whether the waters do rush in or not, at least the cities of Fargo and Moorhead can say everyone gave it their best shot.
