Fargo police have ordered dozens of homes evacuated because of a breach in flood protection as the Red River topped 40 feet.
The Fargo Forum reports the evacuation was ordered early Friday for all houses in a crook of the river near a breach at Linden Avenue.
Authorities say there is an immediate threat of rising flood water. Residents are being told to head west. Emergency shelter is available at a high school.
The river, which flows south-to-north, rose to over 40 feet early Friday, on the way to its projected crest of up to 43 feet by Saturday afternoon.
