More Roads Closed



Will it every end! It has been 3 days since it rained last and we contintue to take on water in the area. Another portion of Highway 169 in southern Minnesota has been closed because of rising floodwaters. An 11-mile stretch of Highway 169 immediately west of the Minnesota River is now closed from Le Sueur to St. Peter, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. This means Highway 169 in now closed from Henderson to Mankato. This recent closure makes St. Peter unreachable by state highway. MnDOT said both the Highway 169 closure from St. Peter to Le Sueur is so crews can reinforce the dike built along Highway 169 north of St. Peter. This has made out quiet road from our home a major freeway! Keep praying for sunshine and and wind to dry everything out. Farmers are wondering if they will ever get the crops out.
