flood preparation

In an attempt to keep power on to flooding neighborhoods, MDU had the linemen build these elevated boxes. John said the box alone is about 500 lbs.





neighborhoods outside of the protective dikes had to sandbag around their own homes in an attempt to keep water out, so far most seem to be working but the river is still rising. The dam is letting out 150,000 gallons per second.
