Fargo Flood–my 15-yr-old Sandbagging

Fargo flood
Fargo flood

My son lives in Fargo with his dad, three blocks from the rising flood waters, but behind a flood wall.  Max cares so much he’s been working every day at sandbagging the low-lying areas.  One night my son and his friend, Nigel, sandbagged from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.  His dad fed them a big meal and sent them on their way.

Yes, I’m a little worried, but they won’t be flooded where they live.  I am worried about the people who have been and will be flooded.  So is he.

What a good kid.
