We have taken our share, with about 3" since last Friday afternoon and overnight. Got our biggest branding set for Saturday rained out. Got about a half inch yesterday afternoon shortly after they pulled the ciders on heifers and turned them back out. Sun is just coming up now, and they should have been heading out to gather a pasture for the first branding of the day. Think they are getting a bit of a late start for all they have planned for today! Looks to be a pretty day here, unless the wind gets too strong.
Saw pictures on TV this morning of storm damage at Eden Prairie, MN. Lots of rain in a short time, and they had more earlier, on ground that looks to have a high sand content. One big digging machine of some sort really buried deep in a ravine. Apparently trying to keep a house from sliding down it. Several trees fell onto cars or homes, too. Looks like lots of damage there. Sure feel for those affected by all that. Makes me wonder how people can worship 'Mother Nature' when she can be so unforgiving and vengeful of people who simply choose the wrong beautiful place to build their homes.
