My hometown is under water. Thankfully my childhood home is dry, thanks to a sump pump that was installed after 30 years without the need for one. My parents didn't have to leave their home. My sister didn't have to leave her home. Thankful. However, Minot will never be the same. The flood is nothing Minot has ever seen, they have to boil water for 24 hours because of possible water contamination and this evening possible tornadoes. My parents lost power and access to their phone lines temporarily. How much can a community take, ugh!
I am thankful that we have the internet and the coverage provided by KXMC. It's nice to feel somewhat close, when we're so far away.
My junior high is completely submerged the church I grew up in and Josh and I were married in is water logged. The pictures and stories are unbelievable. I can only imagine and my heart aches for the people who have lost their homes and for the entire community. It makes me sad. I know these things can be replaced and Minot will rebuild and continue to be a wonderful community. I am praying for strengh, perserverence, peace and hope for Minot and the surrounding communities.
