As the week of April 4, 2011, rolls into full force, it’s official: Fargo and Moorhead are on HIGH ALERT. The spring melt roars into the tributaries, rivers, coulees and the Red River. Fargo mobilizes its sandbag deployment plan as upperclass students from all area schools pour out to place sandbags.
As the majority of sandbag placement is completed early (Thursday), the Weather Service informs the community of an impending and potentially dangerous storm front that is bearing down on the upper Midwest.
Mayor Walaker continues to remind the community, as 2011 witnesses the third highest crest on record, that this is not a time for complacency. Commissioner Tim Mahoney charges the city with the anthem, “Constant vigilance… beat the crest, then get some rest.”
About Lee Hoedl
Believing in the power of presence in a child's life, Lee Hoedl left his fifteen-year career as a university administrator and educator to become a "residential education specialist" - a stay-at-home father for the Hoedl triplets born in 2003.
In between family responsibilities, Lee finds time to remain an avid cyclist, a triathlete/marathoner in training, photographer, freelance website developer and blues enthusiast/guitarist. And when the time permits, Lee rejuvenates by high altitude climbing to such locales as Mt. Whitney and Mt. Rainier, backpacking across such vistas as Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon, playing guitar and just spending time on the family room floor with his children and wife Di.
Lee presently and blissfully resides in the heartland of America with his wife Di and children Leo, Emily, Hannah and Nicholas, and finds the source of his inspiration through them.
