     One of the news headlines this morning was about Kansas getting up to 9 inches of rain. Anyone on here in the middle of that? Hope no one is flooded  or hurt. Unusual weather for this time of year. We have been wet like most other places but now some rain would be good on the crops, but nothing like 9 inches.

Goat heads?  I feel your pain Joe.  I hate those things.
This is the first rain my soybeans have had since they were planted.  Some did not even sprout.  
Hope you get some good rains in N. M.

Just watch out where the Huskies go and don't you eat that Yellow Snow.
 
 
Lyrics
Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow
Dreamed I was an eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero...
And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow

festus51 is right, Ottawa, KS, where the Gathering was a couple years ago got an official 11 inches of rain, the town is pretty flat so the whole town got flooded.  People were talking of 3-4 feet of water in basements.  That rain was supposed to travel East and hit us but it stalled over Ottawa and they got it all.
Folks are saying it's never happened before but the  banker said it was worse in the 50's, when talking to the news person he told her during a live interview that where they were standing would have been in 10ft of water back then.  Haven't seen that interview replayed since.

JW   the corp of eng were also letting water out of Melvern Lake and that contributed to the flooding.   They have since shut the gates.

Keeping it brief so as not to get moved to the political page;  The corp of engineers have no governing body to answer to, the governor of MO is working to change that but probably will go nowhere.

Wink Dang o'l news snowflakes if is not "Clapthe worst ever caused by man made global climate change " Wink it must not of happened.

Or they are just waiting for you to get washed away. Wink A local horror story TO BE IF.....A dam built in about 64 has only had water over the spillway 4 times. And I have heard stories the spillway might not be the best because of the loose shale rock formation under it. But now compared to Orville Dam and how places would need to evacuate if it ever gets close to full. Only problem is the places they listed are up stream NOT DOWN STREAM.
