A year ago hard rains transformed normally quiet Rush Creek in Rushford, Minnesota into a muddy torrent that flooded hundreds of homes. The volunteers are starting to dry up, but there's still work ahead.
5 of us went from church today for 1 day of drywalling. We worked in 2 homes today and we drove past a few we had worked on before this year. It was heartening to see a home we'd hung windows in as a home. There are many still to finish but it was a blessing for us to see some fully restored. The homes that are in need of the most work sit empty a year after the disaster. It made us 5 wonder why its so easy to look past disasters so quickly.

A natural disaster hits and help pours in. But once the media coverage stops many people think that everything is fine. Well...it isn't. New Orleans is still recovering after all this time...and Rushford will be recovering for a long time to come as well.
