Oakport desperatefor help as more homes lost
March 26, 2009
Several homes were lost to flooding in the Oakport Township north of Moorhead overnight. The township is in desperate need for volunteers this morning, township Chairman Greg Anderson said at 7:45 a.m.
Volunteers will need to carpool to the area and volunteers will need to park off-street to allow sand trucks to get through, he said.
Two homes in in a subdivision were lost overnight to flooding and several others are also flooded as the Red River rose past 38 feet.
“My guess is if we get away with 50 (homes), it’ll be a miracle,” he said. The Oakport Township has about 550 homes and is located directly north of Moorhead.
