During this Holiday Season, let us not forget our Minot neighbors. There are several videos that show the flood devastation that happened this past June to Minot N.D. With an estimated $250,000.000 in damages, there were/are 12,000 displaced residents, many now either living in FEMA trailers, and many more scattered to other areas, never to go home again. When people seek shelter in N.D., re: jobs or relocation , please consider the housing shortage, and complete lack of housing in most of the Western half of N.D., Please add your videos re: Minot flood 2011'.

Great post JanND. Driving through Minot even now, 6 months after the flood waters hit, is still traumatic for me. Minot is my hometown, where I was born, where my kids were born, the place I went to school, where I had my first job, where I used to cruise Broadway with my friends on the weekends, the place where all my family still is.
Some neighborhoods still don't have working street lights, and at night it's eerie. Some homes and apartments are just now in the process of being gutted, others will soon be demolished completely. Some traffic lights are not working in the areas that were flooded and they don't yet know who will pay for them to be fixed. It's going to take a long time for Minot to recover, but it will. But in the meantime, housing is at a premium.
