Shelter/Flood Update

The Red Cross shut down the shelter in the church tonight.
Everyone has another place to stay as of tonight.
Red Cross has moved their other operations to the school gym.
Our church made 100 lunches for them today.
And the clothes closet is open for the next few days, before reverting to its regular schedule.
In our county it looks like 330 homes were destroyed (this doesn't mean "washed away")
30-100 have major damage.
Waters are receding.

So, while the shelter is closed, other work is beginning.

wow indeed. I know the melting snows with rain have caused problems all over the Midwest, rivers flooding their banks all over.

I hope everyone is ok and homes can be repaired...
