Flood preparations hit high gear
The push is on today to build sandbag walls and temporary levees in several low-lying neighborhoods of Fargo and Moorhead. In some places, the work will go on around the clock until the areas are protected from the rising Red River.
4 days until crest, Red River flood prep continues
City officials and volunteers will work Tuesday to build sandbag walls and temporary levees in Fargo and Moorhead's low-lying neighborhoods as the cities prepare for the Red River to crest on Saturday.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service are predicting that the Red River in the Fargo - Moorhead area could be dangerously high by this weekend. That's quite a bit earlier than when we usually see spring flooding in that area.
