After the heavy rains Thursday night I hope we get a little more normal weather this week. You do not have to go very far to the south of us and they can use some rain. I am not talking about the poor souls in Texas and Oklahoma either. Just the southern Iowa and Northern Missouri are dry in places. It seems that we can not have regular weather events lately. Either we are dry or flooded.

We where able to complete the most urgent repairs to the fences and drives. There will be many repairs needed on roads, bridges and fields. These will have to take place over time. We where lucky that there was not many people hurt. The rest of the things can be repaired or rebuilt.

I am fortunate that my family faired pretty well. No major loses. It does enable us to help those that have had losses.

So I hope that all of us can have a more normal weather and lives in the coming future. It is this hope that makes us strive for the future. Good Luck to all.
 
The weather gurus at Iowa State are blaming a deep El nina for the deep fluctuations. One of my friends drove through your area and told me it's quite a mess. We could use a good shot of rain here. Only the sandy spots are looking bad, but the tile have quit running. Jim
 
That weather system seems to have passed through here friday before fizzling out, we got 1.5 inches at least from it, welcome too, has been dry, but not like last year. It was dry enough to not allow the milkweed to bloom and make pods, funny thing is it still came up in the same field. Last year was incredibly dry, which we don't see that often. Hopefully you get all that sorted out, floods make such a mess. It is hard to imagine that kind of rainfall in one storm system, though I can recall '99 & hurricane Floyd and areas that received 10" of rain, areas that became small lakes that I never thought possible.
