Last week I would not have believed our city is facing what it is. In ‘97 I was a freshman at NDSU and thought that was the worse flooding I would ever see. Our family is lucky to live in a place where flooding is not a concern, but I know many people who aren’t so lucky. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who are battling this flood. This has been a crazy week to say the least. I didn’t go to work on Tuesday because of the blizzard and only worked half a day today. I work south of Mandan and had to leave before they set off the explosions on the river and before 1806 closed. We live in south Bismarck, but our school is not one of the schools that is closed tomorrow. However, many families at our school are being affected by the flood. There were only six kids in Fred’s class today. When I went to pick him up from school, the whole school was eerily quiet. Everyone had also gotten things off the floor and bottom shelves, just in case the worse happens. Fred’s teacher said all the kids were great helpers with that. It is good to see the community rallying around those who need help. This is one of the reasons I knew this was were I wanted to raise my family. Hopefully things start to turn around tomorrow and we can get back to normal.
