The Flood

Summary: near 6,000 homes were in danger due to the Red River floods in the Fargo Moorhead area. They used nearyly 1.5 million sandbags because the river was to crest over 40 feet. The National Guard, Volunteers and organizations all went to aide them. The record was in 1897 the flood crested at about 40.1 feet and similar floods have occured more recently.
Opinion: I agree with Marit that going to aide them was a wise move. Someday we here might need help and their help would be appreciated. We have not had a large crisis yet but when the time comes i hope that those people would step up and help out. I think that this was the right move and someday it will affect us.
