I stopped through Rushford recently on my way to LaCrosse and was amazed at the recovery that took place there.

I am more than certain that the tenacity and faith of these folks carried them through. The people of New Orleans could learn from Rushford and the flood-you don't recover by sitting in your FEMA trailer eating watermelon.

LOL actually. I went to school there for about 2 months and helped build a house in rushford village. I'm from winona so I'm not that far away. Most of the people there are assholes to n e one that isn't from there. I'm sooo glad I'm out of the midwest and never coming back. all of you assholes can jack each other off for an eternity in your po-dunk lil town. So yes i have been there. N i can tell you that most people from winona hate your shitty little town. Sry jus tell'n the truth.

I'm sorry if i offend anyone, but i constantly hear from other towns and cities in our area say they got hit the worst, i heard someone say that Goodview got hit the worst, i'm sorry, but we lost 3/4 of our town. Just about every store, every house, and every memory. We are still trying to recover, were doing good now. But it still and never will be the same. Alot of places got more the 5 feet of water in their house, including me.
