HURRICANE IRENE

Here's hoping all of our comrades, buddies & friends made it through the hurricane safely. I didn't realize just how many on my list lived in the hurricane's path. I called Bob Stavella and he was on vacation in SC & GA. He will find out about any damages when he gets home. I talk to David Watkins before it got to Newport News, VA. He was preparing his generator, putting away anything that might fly around in the yard and of course, worried about his 60 year old oak tree in his yard. Talked to Oscar Lacafta in CT; he got a lot of rain and a few limbs knocked out of the trees. Like the old saying, "No news is good news!"

WHAT IS TODAY?

Today is the one year anniversary of our first reunion. Already there is buzz about having another on. Contact your best buddies and let me know. We'll start planning one for next year. This time, not in Cheyenne.

MINOT IS FLOODING

Water is expected to reach the top of Minot's levees within the next two days. The flooding is now expected to dwarf the historic flood of 1969....

The Mouse river is rising fast...and it means 11-thousand Minot residents have to get out quickly. The city's evacuation order has been bumped up to Wednesday evening at 6:00.

The National Weather Service today updated its projections on the Mouse River today.

Releases from the Lake Darling Dam will be increased to 20,300. The water will flood Minot at a record level breaching dikes next week.

Mayor Curt Zimbleman says the water is rising fast and he says work continues to put up dikes to protect critical infrastructure and will continue until the water no longer allows.

He says the priority is to protect city infrastructure and to keep Broadway open.

The Des Lacs river is also rising and resisdents of Burlington have been ordered to evacuate by Wednesday at Noon.

Governor Dalrymple has also ordered an evacuation of rural areas between Minot and Burlington, for residents in proximity of the Souris River or Burlington Dam number one.

Sheriff deputies will be checking homes to verify people have left.

The Red Cross has set up shelters in the area. watch the video |

VA to Issue Debit Cards

The Department of Veterans Affairs (through the Treasury Department) will offer beneficiaries without bank accounts the option to enroll in the Direct Express debit card program with Comerica Bank. Direct Express payments will be directly deposited into that account and made accessible through a debit card. Personal funds cannot be transferred into this account as it can only be used to receive Federal benefits. Direct Express cardholders have 24/7 access to their money at automated teller machines and are able to make purchases at any retailer that accepts MasterCard.

Century Plant
