Abbey Evacuated... AGAIN!

[jesster]

If you haven't been following the news, Minot, ND is in danger of flooding, again, and that means Abbey and her family have been evacuated.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and be patient about NPS and membership related issues.

Love you, Jesse.  Thanks for posting this!

Thanks Jesse, this time we're expecting the water to touch the ceiling of our home. This is really not good. Thanks for being patient. We do not have a business phone, email is the only way to reach me, and your membership certificates and IDs will not be sent for a WHILE. I do not have those supplies with me at this time.

I'll keep updates posted here (thanks Jesse) but right now, I am an emotional mess and am trying to assist my husband with our insurance and FEMA so I'm not focused on PSi this week. I'll be better suited to be at work after Sunday after we know just how much damage we're looking at.

Wow.  Hang in there Abbey.  Thinking of you and your family.

We have Abbey and Henrik safe in the Whitmore Lake complex for a while. Eric continues the face to face battle with the elements. Minot is literally teetering on the brink of a complete disaster at this moment and the future looks bleak. In the meantime, probably a good time to cut her some slack. The weather hasn't done its part lately.

Oh, Abbey. We will pray for you and your family. Ugh. <3 <3 <3

Remember that teetering I was talking about? Well...this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiNdbocSMEQ identifies about the first moment when the levees were overtopped this morning (June 23). The river is expected to rise about 6 and a half feet higher than this by Saturday or Sunday. One in ten homes has federal flood insurance. Abbey's does not. There will be more horrible images as the next few days move on. If you pray, then pray. If you control good energy, do that. If you just want to send a few bucks to the Red Cross, do that. This is a flood literally twice as big as ever recorded on this river system since records were begun in the 1800s.

One more for those of you who like to see things on graphs. Read this Hydrograph. Blue is where we have been. Green is where we are going.http://water.weather.gov/resources/hydrographs/mion8_hg.png

My thoughts are with everyone - glad to hear that you are safe Abbey.

Thanks for letting us know what's going on... You are in my thoughts and prayers Abbey!

Sending prayers and warm thoughts for you and your family, Abbey.

Thanks everyone. Our house is under water. If you're interested here is our neighborhood. I live on 18th Street and you can't see my house as it's under the clump of trees, either way, not pretty. I'm back at work (in Michigan) but still getting things ready for NPS. Memberships will not be made for a long time. However, I can assure you that I'll be able to check all of the members on your team. But Erik Daniel and I are trying to get stuff ready so we can do the bout draw over the holiday weekend.
