After darkness fell. the situation appeared critical: Water had begun to seep up through downtown sewers. and the citys emergency operation center was forced to move from downtown to the outlying University of North Dakota. On the Minnesota side. most of East Grand Forks was under order to evacuate and 400 additional National Guardsmen were on the way to aid the city of 8.000. And I say to my colleagues. I was there the day that people from East Grand Forks evacuated. And the people. they were like refugees. People were dazed. Normally divided by the Red River. the two cities found themselves joined in misery by a spreading river that knows no borders.
