I realize that this happened over a month ago, but I think people are starting to forget all the damage this caused to both MN and WI. I think that it's important to remember all the people affected by this disaster because you never know who it might affect. My family is from a southern Wisconsin town called Arcadia. It was greatly effected by the flood and most of the town needed to be evacuated. The picture above is just a snap that my cousin took.

It is really nice post things are happening to our environment because you are right: people do forget. Especially when it didn't happen to you or someone you know. It is important that we remember events like this so we can do our part to either be more prepared or try to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteWow, it kind of shows how out of touch I can be with the rest of the world. Sometimes I get so caught up in my little UMD bubble I forget about what going outside. All of this flooding is terrible; I hope everyone in your family is ok!
ReplyDeleteNot only should we remember it but send out awareness and safety procedures out or just talking about it can educate people in case this would to happen again in the future. A lot of policies happen because things affect people and people speak out to make those changes for a better environment.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a devastating incident, even though we may not have felt it here in Duluth. It created so much damage that will take awhile to clean back up. Just goes to show that even though it hadn't happened HERE, there are still so many effects that other parts of the world have seen
ReplyDeletewow...i don't really remember hearing about this! now thats bad. I'm going to have to do a little research about it now.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree, I did not know this happened. I agree with Sarah, too, I need to get in touch with what's going on in the real world instead of the UMD bubble.
