Hello All,
I made my way from New York to Minneapolis earlier in the week where we were prepping to send out a flood response team to the Midwest. After a few days strategizing in the twin cities, I have made my way to McHenry County, IL.
I have spent the last few days with my good pal Dan Hoeft, taking meetings with emergency management teams in the county, and assessing the damage and subsequent needs of the flooded homes/homeowners in this part of the country. There is certainly a great deal of work to be done here. We just need the water levels to drop a bit more so we can get to work!
Below is a look at what we are seeing on the ground. Mark/Chops The Future Is No Place To Place Your Better Days  |
