Volunteers in Fargo have been busy this week - they've placed 700,000 sandbags along the river, which should protect them from a flood of up to 40 feet. The rivers in North Dakota have also been busy — they've been tweeting.
Using data from the National Weather Service, these Twitter accounts are set up to pull in current river levels from several locations along a few different rivers:
