So there's a reason there's no post so far today...

... and it's not procrastination.

It's water.

I live in Moorhead, MN; which is right across the river from Fargo, which, well, I don't watch the national news but I'm told the flood is in it. So far we're past the 1997 figures already, and odds are we'll be up another 4 feet and over the dikes and sandbags by Monday, at which point I will no longer be in town.

Now, no worries, guys, seriously - I'm half a mile from the river (even from where it is right now); and live in an upper-story apartment. I and my stuff will be fine; but mandatory evacuations started in parts of town today, so I'm planning to amscray while I still have friends with cars in the area. This will mean a, er, temporary decrease in the regularity of my posting if it happens.

I feel kind of bad that, really, I'm thinking of this as rather fun. It's an adventure! For the first time since college I'll be doing something that would gain me XP!

I'll update more when I know more.

Good luck! I'm pretty safe here in my family home, but I'm glad to hear you'll be out of town. All powers keep you safe!

Glad you can look at it that way. ;-)

Best of luck with it all, and I hope your building and neighbourhood and family and friends all come through okay.

Not to mention yourself. ;-)

Floods suck. Take care of yourself.

Definitely do what the officials tell you to do - am in eastern Iowa and we got hit pretty hard last summer, and it's always, always, always easier on everybody involved if, when they say get out, you get.

-hugs- Take care!

Take care of yourself, Matt!

Good that you have a positive outlook on the whole thing, and I hope you get lots of XP on this ;)

This made me laugh. Thanks!

Good! I was afraid you would try to stick it out, if you hadn't posted that you were leaving I was going to try and find a way to yell at you to get yourself to safety!

I hope you make it somewhere safe quickly.
