It was early on a Saturday night when rain began to fall on the city of Rushford , Minnesota . It wouldn’t take long for those showers to quickly turn into God-fearing thunderstorms.
“It was raining heavily when I went to bed,” said Rushford resident, Delaine Kjos.
“It rained so hard we could hardly see anything,” said Betty Culhane.
Father Joe Pete says, “I saw water and boats coming in carrying people and it was a nightmare. There were canoes carrying people. People came in wet and cold.”
Betty recalls, “I walked around a while and walked out onto my porch and then I saw these cars coming and parking along my street because the school is right across from us. So I thought they must be evacuating.”
“I think I was in shock just like everybody else. I was in shock and I didn't think a lot. I tried to think about what I could do. The city was taking care of getting the people out,” recalled Fr. Pete.
