it has its own personality.\u00a0 The story of this flood is overland flooding \u2013 farm fields and rural roads, small towns and isolated areas.\u00a0 The crest in the Fargo\/Moorhead area, which happened over this past weekend, came in at 38.75 feet, about two feet shy of the record from 2009.\u00a0 The overland flooding, however, appears to be the worst in recent history.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday evening, we had the chance to ride along with Pastor Jeff Sandgren, of <a title=\"Olivet Lutheran Church -- Fargo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.olivet.org\" target=\"_blank\">Olivet Lutheran Church<\/a> in Fargo, as he drove to Harwood to deliver hot meals to the National Guard troops stationed there.\u00a0 Near Harwood, a small town about eight miles north of Fargo, the water from the Red River, and from the nearby Sheyenne River, is nearly four miles out of its banks, and about 20 miles of the interstate have been closed all week.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of Harwood, I met a farmer as he left to walk his dog.\u00a0 His home was completely surrounded by water, with some of his outbuildings already under, and the road was completely washed out less than 100 yards from his driveway.\u00a0 He described to me that the hardest part of the flood fight is the exhaustion from lack of sleep.\u00a0 \u201cThe sump pump kicks on every three minutes,\u201d he told me, \u201cand you don\u2019t dare fall asleep at night for fear that you won\u2019t hear if it stops working.\u201d\u00a0 You can imagine how that exhaustion compounds \u2013 this is the third major flood here in as many years, and this year\u2019s flood fight started on Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_586\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a

Lutheran churches and people we have met here in the valley.\u00a0 As I already mentioned, the people of Olivet Lutheran have been serving hot meals to first responders \u2013 police, fire, highway patrol, National Guard \u2013 as they work tirelessly to keep people safe.\u00a0 The people of First Lutheran, also in Fargo, have partnered again with the Salvation Army to make sandwiches by the thousands to deliver.\u00a0 Bonnie Turner, with <a title=\"Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lssnd.org\" target=\"_blank\">Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota<\/a>, is playing a key leadership role with community groups in coordinating the response on both sides of the Red River.<\/p>\n<p>Even as new disasters happen, we recognize that disasters take months or years, and not weeks, to clean up and be recovered.\u00a0 Yesterday, we visited with Pastor Del Moen and the members of the <a title=\"Wadena Otter Tail Long Term Recovery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wadena-ottertailcountyrecovery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wadena Otter Tail Long-Term Recovery group<\/a>.\u00a0 Last June, a tornado tore through Wadena and the surrounding communities, leaving more than 100 damaged homes in its path.\u00a0 Pastor Moen has been a key leader in the ongoing recovery process, and I am truly proud of his service.<\/p>\n<div
