Folks in North Dakota are not out of the woods yet when it comes to flooding concerns. High winds blew heavy wet snow across Fargo on Tuesday, causing some residents to worry that the levees and sandbag dikes along the Red River could be breached. The Red River crested over the weekend. Residents of Fargo and surrounding towns are now hoping that all the hard work they put in to protect their community won't be washed away. As of Tuesday, there were no reports of problems. Officials said the snow is better than rain, because at least it will take days to melt. Hopefully by then, the river levels will have dropped a bit.
