Rain!!!

The rain just won't go away!!! In the last week it has rained right at 13" here. Last night we got 6.1". . There was a line in our river shed that received 4"-6" last night. The river, that splits our town in half, has risen from 6.5' at midnight to 11.5' at 6:30 this morning...floodstage is 12'. The forcast for the river is to hit 24' by 1:00pm today....that's raising another 12' in the next 6-7 hrs. The record flood is 22.4" in 1999.  When the river gets to 18" one brige is closed. When it hits 21.5' the other 2 bridges in town are closed.
This kind of weather and events has been happening all week all over the state.

I'm high and dry(well the sump pump is running about every 1 1/2 minutes)...if the river gets to me the whole town will be under....thanks for the well wishes.

Well they changed the forecast for the river to hit somewhere at 20.5' sometime tomorrow. If it gets that high one bridge will be closed and getting close to closing another.

That's a lot of water!
Keep your powder dry and be careful moving around town.

 Sometime last night/evening they changed the forecast again. They dropped the predicted crest to 15'. I just looked at the river gauge online and it appears as thought it crested about 4:30 this morning at 13.5'......about half of what they originally predicted. Good news for a lot of people.
