Coast Guard Evacuating Homes Near Fargo

Slideshow: Flooding In Red River Valley

OXBOW, N.D. (AP) ― U.S. Coast Guard emergency response teams and other officials are evacuating at least three homes in the town of Oxbow, south of Fargo.

The Coast Guard arrived with several airboats and sped off to the homes flooded by rising river levels near Oxbow as it snowed Wednesday morning.

Cass County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Hahn says, "they're trapped in their homes." He says one of the homes has possible structural damage.

As Fargo prepares for a potential flood, rural areas outside the city including Oxbow are already being flooded.
