Blows me away. This rock we all live on can be a strange place... My neighbors put their trash cans out too early, and didn't watch the weather. Trash pickup is tomorrow... Oh, and the streets are flooded... My palm tree out back took a beating, but survived - it was raining sideways, like in Forrest Gump... I was gonna grill some ribeyes tonight, too, damnit...

98Z5V Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 @392heminut It was crazy up here, brother - one hell of a monsoon storm, crazy winds, raining sideways,... None of my trees were damaged, but it was pretty nuts driving around the next day and looking at all the split trees and uprooted trees, blown over. It tore up alot of shiit...

I hate that shit, I get calls for Walmart for gas smells all the time in the winter. Some times it takes hours to receive the call, I always tell the store why the hell don’t you call the gas co (which I guess in that case is josh) or the freaking FD they got tools to detect all that shit, all I got is my GD nose?!?

98Z5V Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Got hammered by rain AGAIN last night. The first one hit me around 7:30pm last night. Got another one sometime around 12:45am, but I was out - heard the wind and the rain slamming on the windows. Got up this morning, and the neighbor's big tree in their front yard... is in the street... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Man we keep getting piss pounded, last thrus night we got 5.5 inches of rain in two hours at my house, first time I’ve had water in my basement since 2010. Then yesterday they got 8-13” of rain on the west side of Madison and out laying cities I heard some people were stuck in the Costco for 18 hours. I was talking to a guy waiting for the bus to come said the water car and rose so fast he was standing on the bus bench and ended up getting rescued by someone in a truck said water was waist deep when the truck came.....

98Z5V Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 As much as it would suck here, to have that kind of rain - I'd welcome it. Flooding be damned. And we'd have some SERIOUS flooding with that kinda rainfall. It's needed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it landed in the beginning of the driftless area (where glaciers didn’t touch) lots of hills valleys and what not, Black earth, cross plains and mazomaini are flooded still. Dude in a milk truck tied crossing a bridge on the main high way in black earth and collapsed it. https://www.channel3000.com/news/-water-chaos-people-in-middleton-stranded-at-businesses-and-hotels-overnight-due-to-flooding/784430571 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Flooding is only going to get worse as more rain is coming this week. We are pulling about a dozen troopers or more to just drive around and locate new areas of flooding. So glad I live on high ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
