Friday

The Red River was a 47.37 ft at 4:00 this afternoon.

The flood committee met today with 22 people present. The consensus is to hold off on putting in the main street closure until the water gets higher. Tomorrow volunteers will sandbag the "wings" (between the west end of the bridge and the flood wall) beginning at 10:00 a.m. All help is appreciated!

The Corps of Engineers walked parts of the dike today and found it to be in good condition. There are some cracks where dirt has settled. These do not threaten the integrity of the dike but will be filled in possibly this summer.

The flood committee will meet again next Monday at 4:30.
