Drain 27

When I first started doing this blog of the flood. I would drive 5 miles south of town to take pictures of the Wild Rice River that was not any bigger than a creek. I knew that this creek would grow into an overland lake. Now the flood has come to me and my family. These pictures are within 2 blocks of my home.

The first picture shows drain 27. The little canal that takes winter melt and rain water away. Now it is full and they are building the dikes on the banks. The water is up to the top of the bank.

The other pictures are of the semi trucks of sandbags, national guard trucks hauling dirt and of course the line of volunteers laying down sandbags
