This is a bit unrelated to anything Audi, but maybe a few people have noted,
or heard that I am one of the few owners in the central plains. There are
Audi's out here, but they don't have a very large following like one would
expect for the ridiculous winters we have in North Dakota.
Well, anyway, Right now this city of Fargo is taking a pretty wicked
beating. We are taking on a pretty nasty flood right now, supposedly going
to be the worst ever recorded, including the record breaking 1997 flood that
made some big headlines. We had this one creep on us pretty quickly. Been
moving fast, but we've made about 2million sandbags in the last 5 days. The
bummer now, is that today we had a blizzard. about 6-9 inches of snow
depending on the area. This is adding a very small amount to the melt, but
we are really having trouble building higher with the horrible weather
conditions. Either way, it was 50 degrees yesterday around 3. Its rough.
Anyway, I'm betting you've heard a bit on the national headlines, but here
is a New York times article. Anyway, I think the Audi should be safe, don't
expect to see an 8 floating on the headlines of cnn :-)
