La5eR Amarr Tides of Silence	Posted - 2009.03.31 04:36:00 - [1] From a first hand experience up there since I am an NDSU student and have had classes canceled for the 2nd week in a row it is not good but the community has come together quite nicely though. Here are some facts and figures: -Dominos, Pizza Hut, and Papa-Johns have donated close to 5000 pizzas to the cause -Sam's club has donated well over 1500$ worth of food -Buffalo wild wings has donated 750$ of wings to the event -There have been 4 million sand bags made -All the hamburger meat has been sold out for the last 4 days within a 22km radius of the Fargo-Moorhead area. -The water treatment plant in Fargo is still running at optimal levels although they are putting more chemicals into the water. I will tell you something though, lugging around sandbags is a good work out and builds your upper body strength. It is amazing to see the river that high as well since I was helping bag a levee that was up to the 2nd floor of some of the condos there in Fargo. For your foreigners this is what true America is like, we can and do come together to protect our own. I have clocked 30 hours so far with the effort in helping out. The locations of the Fargo-Dome, Sandbag central, and Nemzech hall have been just hoping. The sandbags do help ALOT, and for you environment peoples out there the material used to make the bag part of the sandbag are 100% biodegradable due in part to research done by the Ag-depts of UND(Grand forks, ND, USA), NDSU(Fargo, ND, USA), MSUM(Moorhead, MN, USA), and NDSCS(Valley city, ND, USA). So far there have only been 4 levee breeches that I know of that have all been shored up or backed up by the contingency dikes made. Any further questions I can answer for you as well.
Aulis Harju Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.31 10:44:00 - [2] Wow, this sounds like a total contrast to New Orleans, where there was widespread riots and looting, and eventually they had to deploy the national guard to maintain order.
F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. I.C.C Industrial Drive Yards	Posted - 2009.03.31 11:12:00 - [3] Edited by: F''nog on 31/03/2009 11:15:15 The real irony of this is that I heard there's a hard freeze warning in effect. Nothing like the threat of both flooding AND icicles to ruin your day. Edit - but, seriously, good luck to you and all your friends. I hope there's no serious damage from all the bad weather.

ShardowRhino Caldari Legion 0f The Damned	Posted - 2009.03.31 13:29:00 - [4] I live in California and I always see this kind of stuff going on in other areas of the country. I think "damn that sucks,wish i could do something to help". Then realize i dont have that kind of money to get there, stay there and get back. kinda sucks to say the least. ive donated money when i can to the redcross and such but can't do that right now. seriously hope things get better there soon.

There is nothing unusual here. -------------
La5eR Amarr Tides of Silence	Posted - 2009.03.31 17:21:00 - [6] Aulis: This is weird but true, the MN/SD/ND/WI/IA area of the US has been given the banner of "Mid-west nice" for some time now. If there is any region in the US that you should move to its here as the community as a whole is very forgiving and kind to anyone who passes through. F'nog: The weather is only going to complicate things in the next month as a 2nd crest is expected to come close but not quite touch the currently record setting crest of 40.83 feet(13m for you metric folk) Shardow: Yes you can do something for the effort. The Ace hardware, Menards, Lowes, and Fleet farm chain of hardware stores are taking donations for the relief effort because after the river recedes there will be cleanup to be done. Kings: Sorry for being so "food oriented". -There have been families that have openned their homes to complete strangers in the evacuated areas and have also given their full addresses and phone numbers out on the WDAY talk-radio(AM 970) station up in Fargo. -The presidents of all 3 major universities canceled classes so the population of 22000 college students could help out. -The Fargo fair-grounds(way above the flood) has opened their doors to pets and the zoo for exotic pets. -Kids aged 13 and up are also volunteering for the efforts and holding their own. -The neighborhoods that were and still are being sandbagged have had "Rest houses" for workers stressed from sandbagging. -Local contractors have donated their equipment for the cause. -All businesses that are not crucial to the well-being of the FM area have closed to let their workers tend to flood related issues.
Of Montreal Gallente CRICE Corporation	Posted - 2009.03.31 17:59:00 - [7] Originally by: Aulis Harju Wow, this sounds like a total contrast to New Orleans, where there was widespread riots and looting, and eventually they had to deploy the national guard to maintain order. You mean widespread neglect, people (for the most part) stealing food and water, and people being ****ed because they were left to rot for 5 days in the heat with little help and dead bodies surrounding them? Their weren't riots. The news reports during that time were filled with lies and rumors none of which were facts. After everything calmed down it was found those rumors were just that rumors, but people aren't going to remember a retraction they remember the sensational news that was originally reported. OP: I have a lot of family in Fargo and am proud to see how the community has come together. Fargo has a very unique mind set and always seems to set the community before any individual. I love seeing the selflessness and everyone coming together.

Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2009.04.01 14:35:00 - [11] FEMA is also a terrible agency, did you know that Walmart and Home Depot both had resources in New Orleans several days before FEMA. there is something wrong when an agency capable of exercising the full resources of the government and its agencies cannot get water to a location faster then Walmart. CNN knew the convention center had people living there before the government did too.
CARY Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.04.01 17:20:00 - [12] I am really sorry to hear all the problems up there. I live down south in Mississippi and the Miss. River run south, so I am sure the flood tables here will raise, we are getting rainmore often here now so lets hope it don't get bad here and you guys up there make it out ok.
Apollo Manton	Posted - 2009.04.01 21:29:00 - [13] Woah i didnt realize anyone form the dakota's played except for me :p Lemmon, South Dakota here. The flooding is wide spread. I dont think anywhere is quite as bad as Fargo but its pretty crazy seeing creeks and dams full of running water when we have seen so little moisture lately. Today is the 3rd day of school i have had in the last 14 days due to blizzards and such. Hope you guys fare well.
