This summer was a record breaker for the number of tornadoes that occurred. Floods have also effected many people in Southern Minnesota. But what happens after these towns are not on the news anymore? Nothing. Wadena was hit badly after a tornado ripped through the town like paper. But there is one thing you need to rebuild...money. Fortunately the towns that were flooded and Wadena will be apart of The Disaster Aid Bill. There was a 100% vote on this bill which makes 100% sense. Flooded towns and Wadena will be apart of the received $80 million to fix public roads and buildings. Wadena High School alone will receive $6.6 million to rebuild which is a fantastic thing because the school is destroyed.
Even though this bill will cost a lot of money I think this is actually a good way to spend money. The people in these towns were victims of things they could not control, Natural Disasters. But it is amazing how people can come together when terrible things happen. This summer I took a drive through the town of Wadena and saw the utter devestation all around me. A High School should never have caution tape around it, summer swimming pools shouldn't be empty, and families should never become homeless in a split second. But the people of this town have to go through it. But with this Disaster Aid Bill they can take the first step in getting back to normal and begin to heal.
