Sgt. Brett Steele, of the 817th Engineer Company, is one of several North Dakota Army National Guard Soldiers responding to an urgent request by the city of Minot, N.D., to quickly reinforce an area of concern at a flood levee at 13th Street and Railway Avenue June 24. The North Dakota National Guard quickly rushed dump trucks filled with clay to reinforce the levee and also sent a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter to place one-ton sandbags into trouble spots in an effort to hold the flood water of the Souris River back. The levee is being reinforced to better create a flood barrier for a residential area, which has not yet been flooded. Several residential areas of Minot were inundated with flood water June 24, leaving thousands of people homeless.
