Steve - Hope you are OK. We got lucky yesterday in that they were calling for rain and we did not get any.
I live just south of Kansas City. Most of the rivers are expected to crest in the next 24 hours and maybe the worst is over. Lets hope. The film footazge they are showing from around the state is pretty amazing. Rising water is crazy. Can't believe they always have to rescue some teenage boys from the rivers as they are trying to raft down (or whatever they do). Crazy.
Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

Thanks for all the kind words!
We crested about 27' this morning with only minor flooding. Problems are just starting for those downstream, I wish them well.
Not sure if my greenhouse would have floated away ? however, I am Thankful it's still where I left it 😆

That is a relief. I am glad that everyone is okay.
We had almost 5" of rain over 2 days ending saturday. It was still quite dry and the rain was relatively light and almost continuous. As a result it all soaked up with no problems. We still haven't had spring run off from the mountains yet so there is little impact on the rivers.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps
