Family Evacuated South Of Fargo

Slideshow: Flooding In Red River Valley

FARGO, N.D. (AP) ― It's not just floodwaters that Fargo residents have to deal with -- now a snowstorm is hitting the area.

Three to four inches of snow already are on the ground. No travel is advised throughout southeastern North Dakota.

At least one house south of Fargo had to be evacuated early Wednesday because of the rising Red River.

A Cass County sheriff's lieutenant says a family evacuating their home needed help, so a boat was brought to them.

Despite the icy weather, sandbagging continues in Fargo, where the Red is expected to crest Friday evening between 39 and 41 feet. The record is 39.6 feet set in the 1997 flood.
