Wow, 6,000 volunteers putting out sandbags in 20 degree weather in the snow. Standing in icy water.

Hats off to you guys and good luck.

Somehow, I don't think I could count on my nearby city dwellers to step up like that.

I lived through the flood of 1997, and have friends up there for this one.

I asked one buddy in Fargo last night when he was going to get his FEMA ATM card. I look forward to the charity concert for the white chocolate city.

My folks just bugged out this morning. The flood is going to be 5 feet above the record in recent years. Just insane!

And, yes, they were sandbagging in 20 degree weather with 6-8 inches of snow on the ground for the last 4 days.

I guess that whole 100 year flood model just went out the window.
