Plenty of news today about the Red River flooding in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Including some dumbass CNN reporters who got arrested for standing on the dikes. But it's still amazing to me that the house I used to live in during The College Years was evacuated this morning. When we lived there we never felt like we were in close proximity to the river. The Red is about 10 blocks from the house. Moorhead is a town of about 43,000 and it's a lot taller than it is long, so 10 blocks is about one third the width of town, at least the core section. It wanders further east much farther than that, but you know what I mean. Both MSUM and Concordia have closed their campuses and the river is expected to crest at records that may never have been recorded. Unbelievable.
