2:30PM:
(NECN/ABC: Moorhead, Minn.) - At 40.37 feet, it is a new record that the Fargo-Moorhead area could do without.
It is predicted that the Red River will make more history in that area on Saturday, and so the around-the-clock sandbagging continued on Friday.The Coast Guard have saved nearly 70 people so far. Friday's focus: shoring up the main dike and building contingency dikes.Still, there are homes in between that would have to be sacrificed."We are in uncharted territory," Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker said. "No one has ever seen the river at this level in the city of Fargo since the beginning of history.

this is all part of the infrastructure we need to build and repair -- we should STOP sending money or giving money or protecting money of all financial firms - what they hell do they do for this country?
