Fargo police ordered mandatory evacuations early Friday after a breach in flood protection created a "significant leak" as the Red River topped 40 feet, breaking a record crest set in 1897.
Fargo police Capt. Tod Dahle says the evacuation was ordered shortly after 2 a.m. Friday for all homes in an area south of downtown Fargo. Officers knocked on doors and the city used a phone system to alert residents of the threat.
Authorities say there is an immediate threat of rising flood water. Residents are being told to head west. Emergency shelter is available at a high school.
The river, which flows south-to-north, rose to 40.15 feet early Friday — an all-time high — on the way to its projected crest of up to 43 feet by Saturday afternoon.

BREAKING NEWS: Moorhead Evacuating Between I94 And Main Avenue, West Of 8th Street
Has the President done anything about this, besides trying to blame this on global warming? He actually had the nerve to specifically blame blizzards on global warming!
I guess it is the same logic that leads him to think he can reduce the deficit by unprecedented increases in borrowing and spending.
If he does offer any aid to ND, I would urge the residents to reject it. It will certainly come with strings attached. Get $500 to help pay for repairs and be forced to spend $50,000 to make your home more “green”.
Has he gone or does he plan to go and visit the affected area? Probably not, he doesn't seem to care about those of us in flyover country. I'm not a Bush fan but he would be up there visiting the area (maybe not yet though), we'll see if 0 goes.
Prayers for those affected.
Where is FEMA? Where are the free plastic charge cards? I see no camping trailers. It must be true, Obama hates whites!
That was one problem with Katrina and other natural disasters where excavations can save lives. For many people, especially retired singles without family nearby, a pet is their only companionship. Losing both their home and their companion is very traumatic. It would be a lot easier to conduct evacuations if the Red Cross, other NGO agencies and government emergency departments put into their plans separate shelters for those with pets.
Where the heck is Zer0? Is he there assessing the situation? Has he ordered in the National Guard? FEMA should be there assiting! Where is Zer0??? What a buffoon! Doesn’t he know that 10’s of thousands could be dying as he plays pres__ent?!?!
I don’t think Obozo has yet to visit the area affected by the severe ice storm (KY, Arkansas).
As of the night before last my son, his girlfriend and my grandaughter were OK but I didn’t hear from them yesterday. They are right there in Fargo...
