.....have never experienced rainfall like we got over night.. Over 9" so far, and it's still coming down. Just got a "flash flood" warning for our area good until noon today. The village is basically isolated Hy 63 is closed both ways. The waterway (part of the Rush River system) below me is - for the first time - so high that it's going OVER the bridge! The tractor repair place north of me is under water. The county has most roads closed due to flooding waters.. I literally can't find a way to get into town. Hy 12, 90th ave., Co Rd J, 60th ave., 50th ave., Co Rd N, Hy 63 at Martel - all are flooded over and closed.. I tried to get a few pics - need to get more.. Using a 70X200 lens because I can't get close enough to use a standard lens.. And more rain's coming over the next 4-6 hours.. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/pdmCzW1f/DSC-6997.jpg) cute boy names that start with a![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Y0RYTZs2/DSC-7002.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RV0HNPYf/DSC-6998.jpg) unique baby boy names with meaningThe pics above are already showing somewhat less water than was over night.. Most roads show evidence of overflowing water but no water shows right now.. Road shoulders washed out - warning cones everywhere.. Reports on the TC news say residents at some houses on Baldwin's streets are being evacuated... From what I can see, it's possible the majority of the village is under water.. Our in-laws have a house in town - they've had water issues before in their fully-finished basement.. I won't call because I'm betting they're trying to save a few things and don't wanna bother 'em.. Can't pump out the water; where's it gonna go? It's just going to come right back in because it's most likely a lake outside.. Flooding's the worst. Thank God I'm on a hill...

Sorry to hear of this, may the flooding end soon, with minimal loss of life or injury and property losses! Having much family in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area during the August 2016 flood.....I understand your concerns! memtb

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Flooding is awful. Interestingly I just read an article on the future of US Flooding... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive...lick&module=News&pgtype=Homepage

I think is will stay right here in the state if Misery. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Just came back from a drive around... The only way to cross Hy 63 is via I-94 or go all the way N to Hy 64E.. Five miles N at the junction of Hy 63 and Co Rd E there's a ton of emergency vehicles.. It seems a car and the people in it are in the water and there's a rescue team trying to save 'em.. Just talked to a friend of mine two miles S and his basement's flooded to the rafters.. I went literally eight miles N, then another seven miles S and there's NO way to get to the highway..
I got stopped by a pickup from Lakes Gas and he was trying to get to Glenwood City to fix an LP issue.. I told him the only way was I-94 to the #28 exit or Co Rd T north to Hy 64E and then south on Co Rd G to get to town...
Nobody's having a good day here today.. Tom's had 600A of hay down since Saturday. I got about 275 chopped before the rain started and we had to quit last night at 8 pm.. Couldn't quite finish the field we were on.. Well, now it'll be at LEAST Wednesday before we even try to start again - and he still has another 120+ to cut.. Damn - this is gonna be a nightmare, especially the soft ground on the new seeding. Chit....
