I have nephews and nieces living in Fargo, ND and have just been notified that they are being told to evacuate.  My oldest nephew there just bought his home last August, has a wife and 2 year old son.  Their basement is flooding at this time and they are moving things to main floor but it may all go.  They live very close to one of the dikes that is threatening to give way.  My neice left with other Univ students heading to Minnesota.  Their mother, my sister is panicking..she is 4 hours away.  Prayers Please.

Update:
Most of this is on TV.  More have been evacuated in Fargo/Morehead. Nephew and family so far are not leaving.  My poor sis is so worried about her grandbaby.  My neice went to MN last night with a caravan from Univ..she is a freshman..in daylight today she and a friend decided to drive home, 6 hours west of there and was almost home when I called. My sis will have one less to worry about.  My neice is one of twins and her brother is in college in Bismarck, ND. My brothers stepdaughter is in a higher level of Fargo and appears to be ok.  My brother has been not feeling good for a few months..thinking cancer..had tests this week and it is a Duodenal Ulcer so that is my positive for today.  Yahoo, not cancer.
Poor Saul has been shoveling all week in western ND..today seems to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  He has been hand shoveling 3 to 4 feet of snow away from around the house, worried about water in the basement, and now we are hearing about bad weather in TX.. .what is going on anyway...come on Mother Nature....please give these people a break.

I am very sorry to hear that your family members are going through this.  My home was flooded in 2003 and I don't wish that on anyone. :grouphug;

Unfortunately the weather is becoming more variable and the trend will likely not change any time soon.
