Dave Gunnette could tell something was off as he drove around town at 1 a.m. Friday. “Everybody’s flag should have went up at one in the morning,” he said. “It was obvious there was going to be problems, and people didn’t respond.” His hunch was proven true. Through the rest of the night, 9 inches of rain stormed down on New Richland, flooding swathes of the town and displacing dozens of residents. First responders began evacuating the New Richland Care Center at 6:30 a.m, according to city administrator Tyler Lendt. Along with its first responders, the city had a swathe of resident volunteers who helped sandbag to try to alleviate flood damage.

At its peak, Meyer said the water
