Part 2 of Minot flood

We were in Minot 2 months after the flood.  The only activity in the neighborhoods were a bit of cleanup still going on.  Levees were being torn down.  Levees were huge sand piles all around a neighborhood.  This was the second neighborhood we looked at.  Lots of older homes in this area.  Notice on each of the houses where the flood line was.  The zoo was closed because the animals had to be moved because it was yet another area where flooding occurred.  If you lived anywhere near the river, you were affected.



Notice how dirty the street is.

No one is living in any of these homes.  There were a few people still trying to get their possessions out to the curb so the cleanup crews could come dispose of it.

So sad to see these beautiful chairs destroyed.

A porch that was moved by the waters and now sits on a fence.

I love this sign.  The people of Minot will rebuild.  While there for the week, I had never met a friendly bunch of people.  Their homes might have been destroyed but they were coming back.
