Roads in Western Minny were under water going into late June that year. And the Dikes built near Monti and Granite stayed in place till September. Some are still in place yet today because of the River Silting .

We were displaced that Spring for five months until our House could be dried out and mold free. First time in recorded History of any flooding on our side of the River.
