MB,

Seeing what Tess posted gives you a real sense of dread about what is unfolding in Minot. Keeps us posted and stay safe!

I'm watching the Live Stream now and the town of Sawyer has to evacuate.  Still another 3 feet of water to come, I hope it won't get that bad...

MB, this is so tragic.  It's beyond my ability to comprehend what it would be like to have to watch ones home become completely covered by water.  And even people who haven't lost their homes have to watch as their neighbors lose theirs.  The grief must be horrendous.  I just hope that they realize the rest of the country grieves as well and wishes the people of Minot and the surrounding areas the very best.

Your hubby must be going through hell right now.  Please give him a hug for me, and I'm sending one to you as well. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Bless!

How did you go MB? I see the flooding is continuing to spread further and further.
