This is shaping up to be a major disaster for thousands of people. The Seablogger, having lived in the area and his mother still living there, has quite a bit to say about it–as well as correcting some of Big Media’s usual laziness. You’d think they could get and read some topo maps. But noooo… Google it, you goofuses.
UPDATE: The river seems, mercifully, to have crested.

All of us who have been reading the Seablogger’s remarkably candid journal of his struggle to say farewell to his alcoholic and ill partner have learned more than we knew about dealing with sorrow. The proprietress of Just Muttering has a good summary of the story taking place in Fargo, a place I admit I pretty much thought of only as a movie before this. My mother’s sister was an alcoholic whose behavior sometimes replicated what the Seablogger is going through. Unlike his partner, my aunt eventually killed herself. I didn’t know what to think about that at the time, but now I think maybe she did us all a favor.
