Things have gotten hairy

Sorry i haven't been able to get to this over the past week.

This will be brief but let me give you a quick update. This is bad, I was at homes yesterday that had water halfway up the sandbags and the water is 23 feet above the flood stage. The have evacuated the most in dager parts of the FM (Fargo Moorhead) area. Because of this there is a sense of fear and tension. Many people have already left but many are staying behind. The water is supposed to crest on Sat between 41-43 feet this is an all time record for the red river in Fargo. The biggest flood here was in the late 1800's. The problem with this crest is it is not supposed to recede until 3-7 days later. That is a lot of pressure for a long time on a very vulnerable structure.

On a family note Abby and Julia are safely on their way to St Cloud MN where they will wait for a few days until the danger has passed. I am waiting it out until, is such a time occurs, an evacuation takes place. Our prayer is that it won't come to that but it is a lot easier to get me in and out of places than my family so their safety was first priority.
Secondlyh I am staying here to help wherever I can and minister to our friends we have made in thier time of greatest need. Please pray for the safety of our city and the people we love so much.
