<p>We were there for a visit on Friday and did not even realize all this was going on until we got there (flew in from Oregon, landed at MSP and drove to Northfield on Friday). We saw the barricades and police first, wondered what was happening, and THEN we saw the river. We went around another way and made it on campus and had a nice tour. Some of the buildings were closed due to power outage, but otherwise on campus we would not have known anything serious was going on. We left there about 5:30 p.m. on Friday and saw the field and parks under water on our way out. Sounds like the flooding got much worse after that.</p>
<p>My D loved the campus! I did too.</p>
