We had some flooding down here on the Minnesota a decade ago or so, pretty bad.
Highschool kids were let out of school for 2 days if they wanted to bag. I'd say they did a real job on that, not many slackers. Really worked.
I helped a day & 1/2, don't know who's back yard I was in, went along a couple blocks.
I helped one fellow from out of town, he had moved into a building that used to be the city pumphouse, was starting some artsywartsy business. He was mighty crabby, mad at everyone that his building that he was renting with city subsidized funds was not getting diked, and he had to move his stuff out. (It was pretty isolated building, and was waterproof other than his stuff that he hadn't really moved into yet - just boxes he had unloaded the months before...) Had a pickup that was held together with bungie cord and a plywood trailer that he was putting his computer equipment in, and was a - well, like a lost flower child, he was a character. I stayed & helped him, but was really wanting to just leave & go help folks that would appreciate it.
Still have the tee shrit, we bought them commemorating the event, helped raise funds for folks. Think the town came through pretty good, it was an experience to realize water taller than your head when you climbed the bags.
The trouble with Fargo area is how high it has to be, that is a heap of pressure on soggy sand bags, just hard for those walls to hold up to several days of that much pressure.
