Helping our neighbors
Ryan and I saw the semi trucks today with these flood barriers and we thought they were setting them up in town--looks like Iowa is actually sending them up north to help our neighbors. It is heartbreaking to see all of the flood pictures on the news--good to know others are reaching out to help!
Here is a news story from our local tv station--KCRG:
"IOWA CITY, Iowa - The University of Iowa diverted two truckloads of HESCO flood barriers, amounting to approximately 7,500 linear feet, on Friday to Minot, N.D. to help provide protection against the Souris River flood waters.
The UI was to receive the shipment from HESCO as part of a replacement for barriers the UI sent to Louisiana and western Iowa. The UI supplied nearly 5,400 linear feet of HESCO flood protection barriers to MidAmerican Energy in western Iowa earlier this month and about 11,800 feet of flood barriers to Louisiana in May."
