But you guys in LeSueur county are still in a flash flood watch also, right?<BR/>As I'm sure you saw on tonight's news, it was much worse farther southeast of us (Winona and Houston counties).<BR/>Thank you for your concern. You stay safe too!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-69983846933518984492007-08-19T12:25:00.000-05:002007-08-19T12:25:00.000-05:00Ruthie,Are you ok down there?

The Red Cross had at least 8 flood shelters opened during the night. It seemed like the lightning, thunder and rain never stopped. My rain rauge only measures up to 5" and there's about another inch of space above that last measurement...when I got up this morning, it was almost full to the top but not overflowing (and it's raining again!)RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-88336858855394508042007-08-19T07:02:00.000-05:002007-08-19T07:02:00.000-05:0098-102 here in the shade with no rain in sight.......98-102 here in the shade with no rain in sight....sigh.... the vision of all that water makes me long for early spring again or an earlier fall this year.

Today was Wilder Fest in Spring Valley, I think a lot of things were rained out. We in this area would like to share this bountiful rain with those who need it so bad, this definitely ends our drought. It is moving east and a little south.<BR/>MOM <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>glubAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-68452033929828277072007-08-18T21:50:00.000-05:002007-08-18T21:50:00.000-05:00Wow!

I ran in to Rochester late this afternoon and stopped at McMurphy's to see Kathy. I usually leave Roch on 11th Ave (past Mayo High) and when I went to turn there, the street was completely flooded. There were a couple of cars parked in the street and there was water up to their windows!! Obviously, I didn't try to drive through that and had to do a quick turn-around in the intersection. I made a quick call to law enforcement to notify them since there was no one around to close the street. A couple vehicles were trying to drive through the water. I guess they've never heard of "turn around-don't drown"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-44456304844330351842007-08-18T20:48:00.000-05:002007-08-18T20:48:00.000-05:00When it rains, it pours, Ruth.

I see we have the same hummer feeder :o) I also bought the new WBU thistle feeder for the goldfinches last week. It's great! I haven't needed to clean it yet but it will be easy - the bottom snaps off. Awesome!<BR/><BR/>I have news for you. It's 75 degrees right now at 9:45 p.m.! We wake up at 5:30 a.m. seeing 82 usually. So, maybe it's an omen?<BR/><BR/>Forecast for the week: 99, 99, 101, 99, 99, chance of a thunderstorm on Thursday. Can't wait!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.com
