Transformers: Dark of the Moon star Josh Duhamel appreciated Twitter fan @shvander's question about his struggling home town of Minot, North Dakota: "It's devastating what they're going through right now," he told USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell said in the midst of the fandemonium during the film's red carpet premiere. "My sister's house is under 10 feet of water. The house that I grew up in as a kid, the girl that lives in that house sent me a picture on Facebook today with red arrow pointing at it ? and literally all you can see is the roof. So you can imagine the amount of trouble they're going to be going through for the next several years."
Duhamel is taking action and asking for help. "What I'm doing is I'm raising awareness and I'm trying to raise as much money as I can to help restore the city," he said. "People are taking people into their houses that they don't even know. They're incredibly resilient and they'd never ask for help but I'm not afraid to."
