Not sure how many have been following this, but since my brother Jeff lives up there I've been tracking this pretty closely. Checked the NPR website at lunch and saw a house that looked familiar--sure enough, it's Jeff's house in the background.
 Jeff and a neighbor got a lift back in to Oxbow on this ND Guard wrecker yesterday PM so they could do some additional sand-bagging around their houses. He talked to the guy who took the picture (Scott from Getty Images), but didn't realize the picture would go "nationwide." I got an e-mail from him a few minutes ago--water is close to the house now, but he said the basement is still dry (knock on wood). He has a sump pit in the basement, and additional pumps in the window wells. Water level has only increased 1" since 7AM today, so the authorities are thinking that the Red may be cresting in Oxbow right now. Keep your fingers crossed . . . . BTW, when he built this house 18 years ago, this was above the 100-year flood plain . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Fargo is a ways north; they expect it to crest there on Saturday. |
