I have been following the stories of the raising of the Red River. I would like to give a VERY WELL DONE, to Mayor Walaker and the private citizens of Fargo. Volunteers are working non stop in subfreezing temperatures to do what they can to save their city. I am most impressed with the fact you are not sitting back, ignoring the weather predictions, and waiting on Washington to come to your aid. You, yourself the citizens of Fargo are there doing all you can. As I read in one of the articles, this should set an example to the other states. I can not help to compare your actions well in advance and every day till you could do no more to save your city, to the almost no actions of the Mayor and people of New Orleans when they were being told week or two in advance of the size of the storm that was coming. During it all, the long hours and freezing temperatures not one complain, no whining that Washington should be doing what ever. No one likes to evacuate from their homes to begin with, but to do so and fine out it was not necessary is upsetting, still 1000s have already evacuated. Hospital, nursing homes, communities all doing the right thing. Hats off to you all. I pray for the best outcome for you and the river, once again, has to back down from such a determined group of people. Either way you all have the satisfaction of knowing you did the very best you could do. You are a fine example to the other states and I do hope come hurricane season this time a few will remember your example and do something for themselves before blaming Washington after they did nothing. There is no comparison to getting in cars or buses in the summer weather to flee from harms way, than you all working in the freezing weather. God Bless you and good luck.
