(Before It's News)

 

POSTED ON MARCH 19, 2011: Following 22 days of operation at Sandbag Central, 3 million total sandbags and 47,295 total volunteer hours, Fargo tentatively waits on Mother Nature. As the week of March 14 comes to a close, Fargo (and Moorhead) hosts its first televised Flood Meeting of 2011. It is announced that the city will prepare to dispurse its sandbags to neighborhoods as early as the end next week (March 21) and within a four-day time frame.

As earthen levees continue to be steadily and strategically constructed around the Fargo neighborhoods, its residents wait… patiently, but anxiously…

POSTED ON MARCH 12, 2011: As the week of March 7 concludes, Sandbag Central reaches its goal of a collective total of 3 million sandbags and the operations stand down for the present time. At the same time, clay levees are emerging all over the cities of Fargo and Moorhead as the cities continue to prepare for a late March/early April area melt and flood. The week ends with community members facing a dangerous late winter blizzard roaring across the Dakota plain.

Prayers and support go out to the people of Japan who are struggling through and beyond a catastrophic 8.9 earthquake and destructive tsunami that devastated their country on March 11, 2011.
