Made it through and still kickin this morning. It got rough here for a while, few 60+ MPH winds and driving rains. The house sprung leaks everywhere on the north side and we looked like sanford and son putting pots and pans around everywhere catching the rain.

Some pretty good flooding this morning still, the river is out in the roads and has lots of them closed still. My rain gauge only goes to 6 inches and it was running over, corse most of the rain was coming sideways anyhow.

We never lost power, it flickerd twice for about 2 minutes each, but it held.

Took part of the old barn roof off, and it is hanging over the side of the barn, flattened severl gates and trees down on fences and some animals mixed up but all in all not too much damage.

Most of our corn held up that I could tell this morning but on the way to work I saw several corn fields that are clear flat on the ground. We havent checked all of our fields as of yet, but the ones we could see were mostly up.

Pretty scary storm, shook the house and buildings hard, and we have a big house. I would have hated to be in the doublewides across the road, they got tore up pretty bad.

Thanks for all the thoughts, but we made it through without too much damage, and everyone is OK.

Now we just have to clean up and dry out

Glad to hear from you Shep. If only I was 900 miles closer. We had higher than normal winds here from the SE. The animation of the storm looked like it was related. Our rain came earlier when a northern front met the front generated by the storm. Did not fill my gauge though. Take care. Glad all is OK considering.

Good to see your alright. What about the ollies? nobody mentioned them. I'm assuming they're alright. Afterall, they're Olivers. I would love to take a road trip and help you do some clean up, but last night I just got the spout back on my chopper after having it coated with fiberglass and I still gotta finish up the corn, about 1/2 off now, and both silos are almost full!! Either gonna bag the rest or just put it on a pile and feed it with the loader.

Yeah it shouldnt be too bad, everything is just wet from the driving rain. Water got into places that I didnt even know it could.

Its still rainin here lightly this evening but is supposed to stop here soon and tomorrow is to be sunny and warm, so that should help dry everything out before it molds.

I will have to say that is the hardest I have ever felt the wind beat on the house. I figure we got 8 or so inches of rain from noon yesterday till this morning. Got some pretty nice new gullys cut in some fields I saw this morning.

We will be dryed out and back in business very shortly, thanks for all the thoughts....
