"Blizzard tests inundated levees, patience of Fargo residents; Dikes shored up in bid to avert more flooding" by Dave Kolpack and Matthew Brown, Associated Press | March 31, 2009
FARGO, N.D. - A blizzard battered North Dakota yesterday, threatening to create wind-whipped waves that could lash the patchwork levee system that has shielded much of Fargo from the swollen Red River.
Engineers scrambled to shore up the dikes in hopes of averting the latest potential disaster nature has inflicted on this beleaguered city. The winter storm was expected to bring up to a foot of snow and 30 mile-per-hour winds and big waves that could weaken the levees. Officials admitted that no one knows whether the levees will withstand the punishment.
Ahem!! SPRING BEGAN 10 DAYS AGO, MSM!!!
It is NO LONGER WINTER, you fart-misting f***s!!!
This is DELIBERATE DECEPTION by the MSM so they can HOLLER GLOBAL WARMING the first warm day!!!! Mark my words, folks!!!
"The difficulty with an epic flood is nobody has been through it before," said Tim Mahoney, the city commissioner. "You can't ask someone, 'Hey, what's going to happen next?' "
Think God is unhappy with the Afghanistan escalation? Just asking....
The Red River dropped to 38.96 feet yesterday, nearly 2 feet below its peak but nearly 21 feet above flood stage. City officials have said they would breathe easier when the river falls to below 36 feet. Authorities were not especially worried about the snowfall because flood levels will have dropped by the time it melts. But forecasters have warned all along that the river could rise. They believe the river could drop 2 more feet in the coming days before inching upward again.
Some residents in the Fargo area said yesterday's snowstorm amounted to a kick in the gut after a grueling week of filling sandbags and fortifying their homes against flooding, which was caused by heavier-than-average winter snows, combined with spring rains and an early freeze last fall that locked a lot of moisture into the soil....
And the LYING MSM hasn't helped.
Engineers are worried that the levees could give way at any time, and they sent teams out to vulnerable areas yesterday to strengthen the system. National Guard members placed sheets of plastic over the levees to shield them against waves. Corps engineer Tim Bertschi said when water pressure gets strong enough, the sandbags can begin to shift, a weakness that surging water will exploit.
Another potential problem is posed by large chunks of ice in the river's currents. When those chunks hit a levee, they can speed its erosion or punch holes in the plastic sheeting. Once water gets in, a levee becomes much more susceptible to failure.
As the city waited for the storm, schools and many businesses were closed for a second week, meaning thousands of people are not drawing paychecks and are eager to get back to work....
The SHAMELESSNESS of the AGENDA-PUSHING MSM is UNBELIEVABLE!!
Yeah, the people are worried about GETTING BACK to WORK!!!!
I think they HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS right now, and WORK ain't on of 'em!!!!
