FARGO, N.D. (AP) - April 7, 2009 City officials are asking for volunteers to help make sandbags
Wednesday morning at the Fargodome parking lot. They hope to bump
up their inventory to 500,000 sandbags to be used to shore up dikes
and fill leaks.
The National Weather Service is forecasting that the Red River
will crest again at Fargo between 38 and 40 feet. That's due to
occur between April 16 and 18.
The Red gave Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., a major
scare last month before cresting just shy of 41 feet. The two
cities largely escaped damage after a massive sandbagging effort
that raised their dike protection to 43 feet.
