OK how about this quoted from
Associated Press ... published 60 minutes ago as I type this
"The White House said it was monitoring flooding in North Dakota and
Minnesota, and President Barack Obama has dispatched the acting head of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency to the region. White House spokesman
Robert Gibbs said Obama has personally spoken with the governors of both
states and with Fargo's mayor.
The president called North Dakota Sen. Kent Conrad on his cell phone during
a news conference in Bismarck on flooding problems there and in Fargo. "If
there's anything more that we can do, we will do it," Obama said after
Conrad held the phone up to a microphone. "
then let's add this
"It's to the point now where I think we've done everything we can," said
resident Dave Davis, whose neighborhood was filled with backhoes and
tractors building an earthen levee. "The only thing now is divine
intervention."
Even after the floodwaters crest, the water may not begin receding before
Wednesday, creating a lingering risk of a catastrophic failure in levees put
together mostly by volunteers.
National Guard troops fanned out in the bitter cold to inspect floodwalls
for leaks and weak spots, and residents piled sandbags on top of 12 miles of
snow-covered dikes. The freezing weather froze the bags solid, turning them
into what townspeople hoped would be a watertight barrier.
Hundreds more Guard troops poured in from around the state and neighboring
South Dakota, along with scores of American Red Cross workers from as far
away as Modesto, Calif."
