Back to Normal

Life is getting back to normal here in Fargo. The river has been dropping a foot a day now and is no threat. It is expected to rise a bit next week when it warms up and the snow starts to melt, but still should be no problem.

I got so use to watching the river levels and listening to all the press conferences about what’s going on. It almost feels weird getting back to normal. I was so busy with flood stuff, that I never got a chance to see any national news. Was the national news just as impressed with the people in this area? A lot of people worked their asses to save our city, and we did. We won. We beat the flood. I sure hope it doesn’t hurt our chances as getting permanent flood protection though. It’s going to be expensive, but fighting these floods isn’t cheap either. I am curious what the final bill for the flood fight will be. It’s going to cost $400,000 just to clean up the Fargodome.
