Imagine having to lift the sandbags again.
Like snowdrifts all over town, they were brought to the curb one by one
and left for the front-end loader. Hundreds of thousands of them.
More sweat.
Millions of dollars in damages. Homes are still in the process of being lost.
It takes a while when there are a few thousand homes affected to figure out what stays and what goes.
A business may close up in Jefferson, flood damaged: 300 good jobs, maybe lost.
More tears to come.
Some businesses are closed already, some aren't open yet.
We have normal water use now, access to dumpsters and the city compost yard is open.
The clean up is going well, but will take well into the fall.
It's almost-back-to-normal.
And things will get better.
We will keep reaching out, and helping each other.
Thanks all for stopping by,
Steve
