What a Levy Looks like

I didn't really know what a levy was until I went to Minot.  I took some pictures to remember.  Most of these levies were near the University campus.  The flood came right up to the street in front of the college.  These levies surrounded the downtown portion of the flood area.

This was a levy surrounding several businesses and the neighboring neighborhood that was hit hard. 

Notice the levy surrounding the old church.  

Bulldozers were digging the sand and loading trucks to take the sand back to where they got it from on the days we were there.
