Introduction

This blog will be documenting the spring flood fight of 2009 at 3607 Riverview Circle in Moorhead, MN. My parents moved into the house in 2000, and we have successfully fought flood ever since. The house was lost in 1997 at a whopping 39.5ft crest. In 2006, we held the 37.13 crest with a few inches to spare. This year our dike will need to be bigger and better. We plan on making a dike big enough to hold a 38.5" Crest. If the water exceeds 38.5, we have determined that it will be a lost cause as the water will start coming around from the sides of the house and into the front yard. I will try to update this blog as much as possible.
