So, maybe some of you around the country have seen the news of Minot, North Dakota flooding...well...I live there....
Now, my family, and my families business is safely beyond the flood plain....but it's likely when I wake up in the morning...the city may be split in two by dikes and the river. (Think East/West Berlin). And actually, my family would be split on the wrong side from our business...which could be a major problem for us for the time being....besides the economy most likely coming to a complete stand still here with roughly 4,000 homes being flooded out among schools and city infrastructure.
These pictures are mostly from down the hill from where I live. Where it's really bad, you haven't been able to walk down near it in quite some time. There's 10-12 feet of water in some areas. Many of my friends have been displaced.
All of these pictures were taken with my Samsung Focus. I have placed a Picasa link with the album. Surprisingly the geo tagging crosses over to Google's service.
