I live in the middle of the southeast Minnesota flooding. The only damage we have at our house is a slightly flooded basement.  It's nothing compared to those around us.  My husband has seen a lot of the devastation firsthand, since he has been helping with rescue, clean up, and communications since Saturday.

Here are some links, if you're interested:

I've been praying for these families and the people who are helping them.  Keep them in your prayers, too.
