photography:: missouri river flooding
August 15, 2011
Back a few weeks ago, I was lamenting about the man-made flood waters heading my way.
There were worst-case-scenario maps, media blitzes, road closures, town meetings, angry residents & politicians…
My family, my land, and my home were spared.
Many of my neighbors were not.
The water is still everywhere.
People are still homeless.
How do you send your child to a normal school day when you are a refugee in your own backyard?
The masses that have been affected need help, they need to have a voice, a home, their lives back.
I sincerely hope that they will not be forgotten as the waters recede.
