Sandbags delivered to properties along Red river
Sandbags are being delivered to 34 low-lying properties along the Red River in Winnipeg in anticipation of a sudden river level surge created by a lingering layer of ice, city officials said today.
Sandbag convoys of flatbed trucks escorted by police are scheduled to roll out Tuesday in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., in hopes of turning back the rising Red River.
