Duluth Flood


[Pictures from  the Duluth News Tribune ]    This is the third major rain event We've had in the last month - this particular one dumped 10' of rain and its just too much for an already saturated soil. We are lucky at our house to only have water in the basement although it did flood in an area that has always been dry. Wrecked some household stuff and electronics. I guess I need to flood proof this area too. My hamshack is on patio blocks and most equipment is on shelves. Many cars are swamped up and down streets and even some fell into sinkholes. Lots of totally flooded basements,homes and businesses and lots of washed out bridges and roads. So far no loss of human life but our local Zoo was flooded and lost some animals. Two seals escaped and even a female polar bear. yikes!!  Sun in the forecast- -can't arrive too soon for Me!
