Her family lives in Minot. There are several family members who had to evacuate from their several homes that are in the flooding area. I haven’t yet heard how bad the damage is. My wife’s parent’s home is not in the flooded area, and her sister has moved her children into this house (my wife’s mother died this past Winter, and her father died in 2009).
My kids live just outside of Towner. They must be on a little rise, because they are about to become an island. Hwy 2 has been closed, with water over the bridge, near Minot, I understand.
It’s good they have friends and family to go to.
