Good morning. It's 2:30 a.m. and I'm sitting at the Command Center trying to catch up on the day. These first pictures were sent by Nita and Darrell Warner.

It was time to finish closing the dike wall this morning. A half dozen men along with the same number of high school students put in the last sections.
There was a flood committee meeting at 4:30 Monday. About 36 people showed up for the meeting. Tuesday there will be a public meeting at 7:00 at the Community Center. We are still in need of people to walk the dike and to sit at the Command Center. The Red is at 50.4 feet now. The National Guard will come to help with dike patrol when it reaches 51 ft. but we will still need local help. Please visit the Command Center to volunteer. The "High Water Cafe" opened today. The Legion Auxiliary ladies will be in charge of the kitchen. They also welcome volunteers and donations.
Students from the high school went to Neche Monday to fill more sandbags there. They anticipate the water going over Hwy 18 at Neche sometime Tues. The students will fill more sandbags in Pembina on Tuesday.
