Thanks for the concern.
This is an amazing story about the human spirit.
It is our school that was damaged, but things are as good as we can hope
for.
An amazing recovery was made on Sunday with the help of Blackhawk
helicopters slowing the leak buy airlifting in 22,000 lbs of sand in 11
drops. This has slowed the rupture in the dike and we have pumped out the
campus only loosing 3 total floors in 2 separate buildings. The 2 new
buildings we have built since you were here have been saved. (amazing - even
the professionals didn't think it could work).
Otherwise my work and home are fine. Plugged all basement drains in the
basement and moved all contents up to the ground floor. So the house looks
like we are living in a war zone. So does the neighborhood.
Six foot dikes have been constructed behind the houses across the street
from me. Our city leaders were all in place back in 1997. So they are
experienced. The leadership is unbelievable. they are doing a job for the
ages. Fargo has only lost 5 homes.
Thanks again for the concern. We really appreciate the prayer support!
Paul
