Heard on the news about the flash floods in southeast Minnesota. :shock: Denny, are you near there? If so, are you staying above water?

We travelled through that country several years ago. It's really quite a beautiful place. I can see how flash floods can happen with the terrain being so hilly.

Oklahoma looked pretty scarey too. Watched those people being picked up by the helicopter yesterday. They were sure lucky someone spotted them. Hopefully the water will go down as fast as it came up.

They have the Rock posted to flood pretty good this week once all the rain works it way down from Wisconsin.. This rain has been something, we are lucky that we are up on the sand here and it seems to be soaking it in.. I bet if I got out to the swamp it would be real mucky right now.. (Sandhills drain into these bog/swamp areas).. Seedcorn harvest was suppossed to kick off this week.. Not likely and it slowed down my sweet corn cannery silage too..

Ohio looks like it got hit awful hard... Further east of here, where my folks and inlaws are is really getting hammered today, some folks comparing it to 86 or 87 when we had 19 inches in 24 hours (I kind of remember that.. Soemthing about a newspaper headline saying if it had been snow it would have been 200 inches or something like that).. The whole area here is in a flash flood watch... We had 3/4 inches again in the guage this morning and another 1/4 so far today.. I think that makes something like 8-10 inches now for the month on top of the 10-12 we hand in July..The geese are taking up residence in the pastures now, lol, any low laying area has standing water in it, even if you don't see it the ground is awful squishy..

Were fine here we live 300 miles north of there we only got 3/10 of an inch over 4 days.My grandparents live in St.Charles Mn which is near Rochester they live up high on a big hill on the edge of town so the water would have to be 200 ft deep to reach them they are fine also.Sure looks to be a big mess down there.Been watching on the news.

Good to hear from you guys. It's been really cool here, more like September. The weather guys say that the system that's over us is causing that warm wet air to stall and dump all that rain in one place. Hopefully it moves soon and we all get back to good weather. 8)
