The family was watching the news when they showed a tiny bit of the water  :pout: Brad and Donny said "Any of the guys you meet live there Dad, cause if they do man are they in trouble :sad:".  Let us know how long it takes to get back to normal after a rain that would take us two+ years to get even close to that amount.

Doesnt sound or look good.
On the bright side...it might make coyote hunting a little easier for a short time, while they all head for high ground :eyebrow:

Stay safe up there.  Seen some pictures on TV this morning, doesn't look good.  Sure wish we could funnel some of that rain down here....

If we could share some we shure as "L" would John. Things got to rocking around here last night around 1:30 in hte am. Came up real quick since it developed in the area and got to moving at 65 mph. Thats fast folks. Center of the cell was just a couple of miles south of me. I don't think anything touched down in this area and I hope it lost steam before it did.  Enough lightening to keep the ground , walls and air shaking for an hour. Felt similar to and earthquake at times it was so bad.

My cocker spaniel thinks he can whip his and my weight in about anything that comes along. He gets a tad exited with big storms. He ran from window to window chasing the thunder. Even ran over me once  :eyebrownod: Between him and the storm I couldnt get a wink there for a while. Jimmie

QuoteAs soon as I can remember what the demensions of a cubit

The average distance from the tip of one's fingers to their elbow. For all practical purposes...18 inches.

I'm sorry you all are going through this. There will be thoughts and prayers from the Smith house tonight for each and everyone that is effected by this. God bless you all.

Been watching on the weather channel.  We are starting to get some of the rain now here in WV.  Nothing like what some of you guys are getting though.  15+ inches of rain in a day???   Wow!!   Let me know if any of you need scuba lessons!  Seriously though I hope you are all safe and stay dry!
