I just watched the flood waters of the souris swallow my home upto the roof. I , like all other citizens living in the Valley that were displaced had been advised by our insurance companies that flood insurance was not needed and so we are all SOL. I am blessed to have a place to stay with family, but I have only owned my home for two years so it has another 28 years to pay off. I am going to be left with no choice but to abandon it to the river. My husband and I are for sure doing a NOBO thru hike come 2012 to regain our direction in life. Please everyone who is able to Donate to the Minot North Dakota Red Cross so that other people who aren't able to find homes with friends and relatives can find some support. Thank-You for any help that comes our way. May the Universe start being nicer to everyone.
