June 10 – boy this is outdated now!
Just what our crops needed!! We had loud storms both Friday and Saturday nights while we slept or tried to sleep.
Total rainfall for us was 5.66″. Which really is a bit much in just 2 days!! With the ground fully saturated on Saturday, when the next storm came hard and fast, we had a lot of run-off and many areas saw flooding. We don’t flood but did take a walk Sunday afternoon to see how high the water was during the night. It quickly drains from here.
Pleased to see no hail damage!
This is normally a dry waterway but you can see how much water rushed through at the peak by the flattened grasses.
Only a small amount of our soybeans were under water for a bit.
Last summer, the state tried to strengthen the bridge by adding huge boulders to the other side to help the washing. Several boulders floated through with this to our side!! Shocking as they are like 18″ rocks!
June 10 and the corn is up to his waist. (On June 12, it was up to his chest!)
Our usual creek area. In a normal summer, it is a bit of a trickle at this point. All this flattened grass is from the force of the water rushing through.
Ok, it was HIGH at some point!! Over 6′ higher than normal.
This was early afternoon after the nighttime storm. The creek is still higher and faster than normal. Thankful for our safety and no water damage.
and sew on...
