Well if the storms were not bad enough now we have flooding :roll:
My home will not be affected but there are a lot of them that will though. We have two rivers here the Mississippi and the Wolf that will do the most damage or is doing the most damage right now. They said the Wolf is at the crest but with all of this rain we are getting it is probably gong to go up way more.
We had 12" of rain in 2 days and now we are supposed to be getting close to 10"+ in the next three days. The mountain bike trails I ride all of the time are under 12' of water and there are a lot of neighborhoods and businesses flooded and will be from what we are getting for the next few days.
They say that this will beat the great flood of '37

Might as well go ahead and relandscape the thing, my yard is ruined from all of the tree limbs falling and the rain.
But there was at one time 6 tornadoes on the ground at the same time all around us. I saw one go over our home before it touched down a mile or two from here. I am so glad the storms are over with!!!

They didn't but I knew he would if anyone said yes. That's why I love that man!!
My heart & Prayers go out to those who were impacted my this devastation.
