Friends & Family:

We are fortunate to have a camper we are currently staying in, parked at Karl’s sisters place northeast of Burlington. We will be moving our camper on Saturday to park it behind my work, Central Trenching “CTI”. There is water and sewer hookup there. It will be fine for the warmer months!

With all north-south roads being closed except for the 83 bypass, it currently takes me 40 minutes to commute to work, which used to take me 5 minutes! Karl is able to get to work through the north route.

Our house has taken on water of up to around two feet below the roof. You cannot see our house or shed from any of the photos, however this is a picture of the house & condo’s across the street from us. This is the closest we can get to our home and have heard reports the level of water will be constant for two weeks.

Water in the City of Minot and surrounding areas has been contaminated. We are using bottled water as it is accessible.

It’s hard to believe this is happening to everyone. It feels as if you are watching this movie about someone else, and in the morning you will wake up and it will all be a dream.

Please keep everyone in your prayers, it will be a long road ahead.

Diane, how devastating. Words can not adequately express what is happening to you and all your neighbors. I can not imagine being in your situation. You are most defiantly in our thoughts and prayers. Gary
