what a Flood, in 09

Well where do i even start. To tell you the truth i had never been in a flood until this one. it all started when i came back from my spring break. see i went ahead at the beginning of the mouth and took all of my time off so i would get to go home for the whole spring break and well when i came back something was going on that i had never had to deal with before, a flood. it started off that Monday with me going to school and starting class at nine in the morning. there was a lot of talk going around at the beginning of class saying that there may be a chance that there may be no more school for the rest of the day, for they need as much help as they could get with some sandbaggers. well i didnt know it was going to happen but the rumors where true, for after i was finshed with that first class they stopped the school and told us to go out and to start to sand bag so i did like a good citizen i am.
I started that after noon of working at some house on the south side that was going to be blocked off from the whole city, from what i understood this house was going to be bought out after the 1997 flood but fargo township did not have the money to do it at the time. well to sum it up they built a big dike right down the road, blocking this man's home off from the rest. so we spent that whole day just filling sand bags and making a very big dike - it was 42 feet up from the river. we were not too sure how high to build it up but from the looks of things that was not the right height.
i sand bag around for a few days and then that weekend i ended up having to leave from fargo to go with the old peoples home that i work at to make sure that they where are safe and had all of the things they need. and then after that i went home for a few days and then returned back to fargo the following monday to go back to school.

Coming from your one and only blogger boys last mesgge of the year - have a good one everyone.!!!!!!!!!!! :)
