    My whole front bumper was full of ice like the wheels. But I have been to busy to take pics of it before it melted. I parked the WRX and started driving a Jeep after the day I drove that up to my moms house.


    These where taken after I removed as much ice as possible. Car was clean before i went to my moms house, now its a mess!

    my sister in law just finished sand bagging her house yesterday in moorehead. brought everything from the basement upstairs and moved out because the sewers are all backed up. I hope they dont get flooded. they are normally about 2 blocks from the river, they are now about 100 feet from it.:eek3::eek4::(:emo:

    anyways, I hope you stay dry and my family could use some prayers that they stay dry too.

    Where does she live?


    Both my parents houses are not in direct danger from the river it self. Its backup from the stormdrains that have flooded most of the streets. My moms house got a bit of sewer backup cause they did not want to listen to the 21 year old son... and drop the sewer block off valve.

    We put a 2-3ft tall wall infront of the garages on the 7th street. The house on the south is sand bagged all the way around.


    My mom's house I am more worried about. Its the the other area that there are pics from.

    I was going to school at UND when the 97 flood destroyed Grand Forks so I've done my share of sandbagging. We had to do more sandbagging the following year as the river still got high enough to be a threat. However as I look at this year's flood that may top the 97 flood I don't think it will be as bad up in GFK as they have the infrastructure for it now.

    I just don't want to see things flood, freeze, then burn out of control again. That was surreal that year.
