Well we now have got more then 7 inches of rain in less then 4 hours. My drive way is flooded to the point I don't even think I could drive up it with my Case 930 and thats a big machine. I'll post a few pictures in stuck and troubled in just a minute

we got a little over 3 inches over the last 3 days, nice & slow drizzle almost non-stop. Perfect for the dry fields.

Old If you can figure out a way to send that rain this way we could sure use it. We are dry as can be here in West Texas. Had good rains up until June then the faucet was turned off. Good thing my brothers house sets on a hill there in Louisburg, Mo. I believe that is close to you isn't it?
Stay on high ground.

We got a sprinkle today! YEaaaaa !!! less than 1/4 inch but can"t tell now except in the spots on my truck,,all but back to dry as a bone. Once again just a few miles north and south both got dumped on. Worst rain I ever saw in Indiana was in Scottsburg just north of Louisville KY about 10-15 years ago. They got 12" in one hour although , it might have been a half hour now that I think about it. Big thunder storm suddenly stopped over town and collapsed. On the radar screen it just disappeared. They had BIG problems even on high ground that day. Don"t wish that on anyone but Bin Laden.

That one that went down through Frankfort Kentucky 2 years ago was something like I'd never seen before. That dumped 6 inches in about an hour. We were in Harrodsburg when the sky started getting black. Made it to my wifes sisters in Lexington before it hit. There was a house that washed in to the river and killed 3,several school busses washed away,100 mph winds in Gravel Switch. We drove up north of Frankfort the next morning,there were cars in the trees,windows and doors gone from houses where the water had gone through....glad we weren't caught in it.

Wasn't all that hot today but I think the rain kept it cool. Tomorrow there calling for temps. up to around 95 again so it will be hot and nasty with all the water in the air

Kind of used to flooding in the Ozarks aren't you? We looked at a farm south of Salem Mo a few years back. They said after a heavy rain you wouldn't get out to the road for a few days till the water went down.

I saw the time lapse on the weather channel a little while ago. Looks like that cell just kind of hung up over you for a while before it went toward Houston.They said there were warnings of every kind in Texas County.

Yep just a few places got dumped on and others got very little. Here at the lake of the ozarks the south side got it bad but the north side didn't get all that much

Man, that's some bodacious water around the homestead. We never get water like that during the summer in western Washington- but some flooding in winter if we get a "Pineapple Express"- warm, wet system from Hawaii, which melts the snow in the mountains as well as dumping in the lowlands. August here is much cooler and wetter than usual (hi temps averaging 66, about 10 under normal- rain about 2" this month, which is more than normal, believe it or not).

It had to be coming down by the bucket fulls,man you've had two disasters in less than a year. The water will go away a lot faster than that ice. Just hang on. We are in bad need of rain in this area and it seems like it's raining all around us. It always goes from one extreme to another. They're calling for thunder storms here,I'll believe it when I see it.
