This was from one day's worth of rain after being in a drought for like 4 MONTHS. Went by a place that lost their pumpkin patch to flood waters, Floating pumpkins pulled the vines right outta the ground. They told me this as i slowed down to pass by on the flooded road they were standing on to watch

I haven't got to yet. I live up in Illinois (almost in KY though, like 20 min drive from KY) Anywho I had to work tonight and we didn't get our share of the rain until tonight while I was working. It definately poured though and doesn't look like it'll fully stop for at least a few days. Oh... I'm literally smiling writing this haha *big dorky grin for sure... SOOOOO pumped after this insane drought. Hasn't been mud to play in anywhere around here in what feels like forever. Tomorrow, church then work. Monday, me and wifey are gonna drive over to ol' Miss and do some fishing and mess around some of the back roads that run parallel to it. Plenty of fun to be had there. Then gonna go camping, probably near Lake Glendale since it's a good place for the canoe. I'm so pumped it's almost strange lol.

Friday it rained for 12 straight hours. Here in ks we have been in drought for like 3 months so my crew got together and we went out a wheeled in it. Where we wheel there is a creek that is usually like 6" deep but while we were there it was about 5' of fast water and all the usual 2wd ruts we were spinning in 4wd lol

Not in Wisconsin yet. (so suppose to today) But the ground is so dry now. The rain water will ran right off and just collect in the low spots.

We just got a touch of it up in Northern Illinois. I was hoping for puddles I could go through that others couldn't.
