The Monster is the Lake

In North Dakota, townspeople of Devils Lake, are scared for their lives. A lake that slowly eats away at a town, nobody wants to deal with that. But that is what is happening in Devils Lake, about 160 miles from Fargo.

It's been called a slow-growing monster: a huge lake that has steadily expanded over the past 20 years, swallowing up thousands of acres and at least two towns in its rising waters.

 The real question is what are we going to do about this? As a nation we can't take our usual lackadaisical approach to this. We need to figure out new ways to get rid of the overflow of water, by maybe using it to drink because we're always on a shortage? The $330,000 a month to only take an inch off isn't going to cut it. We need to act as one not only to save the homes of many people, but to save a lake that has been attracting people for years. This is a real test for America. We have all of these inventors, so invent something so we can use this water to our advantage. We don't want to wait any longer on this issue because the longer we wait, the more houses and families will be destroyed. All I'm saying is that we need to step up as one.
