No more for a while please

Just got in from walking around to see the flood. After 2.5+ inches Wednesday we just got 6+ inches in just two hours and it is still raining.

Field across the road is flooded again. Got so bad it ran across the road and washed a lot of it out. The low spot in my south field is flooded as bad as I've seen it in 20 years. Went down to look at the creek and couldn't. It's out of the banks and flowing over the tube. Used to have a board bridge over the creek before the drain commission dug it and put in a 9'x13' tube. I.m glad for the tube, I'd be chasing boards again. Only floated the boards off twice, during the flood of 1997, and it would have this time.

Ouch.

Right in my old stomping grounds, I grew up in Bengal Township. Used to go to the Lutheran church in Riley every now and then for a change of pace from our home congregation in Fowler.
 
Listening to the news out of Grand Rapids. Lots of areas gotup to 6" of rain overnite. Things going to be a little soggy for a while. Roads flooded and washed out, basements flooded, trees down, power out... We"re a little north of the main weather - got less than a third of an inch. Actually, we"ve been short of rain for the last few. Need some, but not that much!
 
I think the main area went right thru here. I watched the radar and it showed reds and purples along a line east and west and it was traveling straight east, so anyone along that line really got it.

I've seen it flooded but not like this. Even the flood of 97 when we got over 12" was spread over 24 hours.
