Way too much rain

We received more than 4" of rainfall today and severe flooding. Something we definitely don't need on already stressed from late planting crops. Probably a lot of the flooded corn and soybeans will not survive this.

Where at?

Everywhere! For sure Central AL

Location? West Central Iowa could use some of that rain, after a wet spring it's getting dry.

This is in Southeastern Indiana.

I'm not gonna fool around with a link,but check out WNEM TV5 in Michigan. 7 inches last night on already saturated ground in mid Michigan. Closed interstates,washed out roads,flooded crops,not good. I dodged the bullet by just a few miles. RayP,Mike Henry,Lenray and IHRedrules were in the bullseye. I only got 1.3 this morning for a 5.75 total in the last ten days. I've got corn underwater,but it could have been way worse.

Too much rain, as bad as not enough. We are about normal or maybe a little below normal rain so far this year. First time in nearly a decade that has happened. Cold too. Struggled to get up into the 50s today. My house is so cold (63 degrees) I finally had to turn the furnace on. What next? Frost overnight? The wind has blown wild and endlessly for the past 4 days and the sprayer has remained parked. Ground is in good shape and the crop is good and ready but I'm not blowing herbicide all across the countryside in this wind.

Good thing there is no 'fake news' climate change going on.

Got 4.75" last night, 10.5" the last week. Had about 3" of water in the drive and garage when I got up this morning.

Same here. North Tuscola co. Mi. Have not heard any numbers, but it was a bunch. Ditchs are running over and the wheat is laying down.

Here in MO we where ahead on rain up till last month and now we are behind as per the weather last night on KY-3 and we are 2 inches behind.

We got 7" in 12 hrs last nite and just a few days ago had 2-3". Crops/field are a mess. 20-30 blacktops washed out. Ours has 50 yards and 3 tubes completely gone 1/4 mi from me. Midland is being hit even worse because all our water goes there next. Even worse than our flood of '86.

That's bummer on the wheat. Looks like it is still green enough that it will come up some but it will have a goose neck.

I guess we got out of there just in time, huh? BTW- we really enjoyed the visit!

I got 3 1/2" last week. Thought I was doing OK Then Thursday we got another 4 1/2". Things are pretty wet here. Roads flooded, some washed out. My oats are looking happy right now, jumped in growth overnight,heading out nicely. Needed rain but this is rediculous.

Tier of counties directly north of me got 6 or 7 inches. They are in trouble. Two counties declared states of emergency due to flooding and washed out roads.
