Just remember the Red River Valley...

I don't know about you, but I like seeing people fight back physically, by filling sandbags, making food and coffee, just coming together as a community and doing what they can to counter Nature and the newly fortified levies of Grand Forks upsteam.

Come what may in Fargo, that feeling of having something to do right now in preparing for the river's crest, no doubt is keeping some people going and maybe teaching young people life lessons about doing what you can, accepting what you can't do, and putting losses in perspective.

That's not such a bad thing really.
