"I really don't feel good about doing this interview, because we feel pretty fortunate," says Blair Mitzel, payroll supervisor for Basin Electric. "There are so many people in a worse situation than us."
Mitzel has lived in the Hoge Island area north of Bismarck, ND, for 14 years.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, the Mitzels moved everything out of their home. "We took out the baseboards and numbered them, we stripped out the carpet, we stripped everything out because we knew we were going to have three or four feet of water in our house."
Mitzel must boat to his home because all access roads are submerged. He says there are eight Basin Electric and Dakota Gas employees who live in his neighborhood. "We all know each other, and we're becoming very good friends. Like one guy said, 'It's still a wonderful neighborhood.' It's brought us together a lot."
He says there no way he can repay everyone who has helped him out. He says maybe they'll hold a big picnic next summer.
