> Hi friends,
>
> Our part of Minnesota was hit with devastating flooding this weekend. We 
> are all fine, mostly because we live on top the bluffs. We had a little 
> water in the basement but no damage. Karl has to replace his carpeting and 
> some drywall. Sara had no damage. Most of the towns around us: Minnesota 
> City, Stockton, Goodview, Rushford and Houston all had to be evacuated. 
> There have been 4 deaths in our county with one man missing and presumed 
> deceased. Our area had 10-17 inches of rain during the weekend. The Kwik 
> Trip that Ben works at was flooded and closed all day yesterday. The motel 
> across the street from the Kwik Trip was evacuating people from second 
> story windows and getting them to dry land with a boat. Many roads in the 
> whole county are washed out and many railroad tracks are damaged. So much 
> devastation!!
>
> If you wish to see pictures and videos of the damage the best websites 
> are:
