Evacuated 2011 - Day 37 - July 28, 2011

Today we finally got our temporary power completed. Xcel came and installed the meter. Still not power. we then figured out that the main line into the house had been disconnected. After that we hooked up the power came on. Now we don't have to use the noisy generator for the house. We will use that for the garage when we need power.
Tonight is the meeting with all the residents of 1st Ward, the Ward for which I am the Alderman. I am expecting a lot of people tonight with many questions. I have the following organizations lined up to hopefully answer those questions: FEMA, SBA, IRS, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Senator Hoeven representatione, Sate Legislators, Public Works, City Engineer, Minot Fire Dept, Minot Police Dept, 1st District Health, Minot Area Community Foundation, Corp of Engineers, TV stations, and I think a couple others. I am not sure if they can answer all the questions as some have no answers yet................. More tomorrow
