So the water came up from the SEVEN INCHES of rain we got. This is my house now. Sheriff woke is up at 6am and at the time I wasn’t to concerned. Then about an hour later it was in my wife’s brand new garden as of two days ago. That’s probably gone That’s why I didn’t move my truck and now it’s too late. I hope it’s alright.

UPDATE: Just saw a fish going upstream in the FRONT YARD!!! Looked like a Sheep head.

SECOND UPDATE: Truck might be okay.

RIP garage. Hopefully the water didn’t get into the truck cabin.

Also that's alot of green

Yeah, it is good. But if we would have gotten 12 inches of rain, it comes in the house. Not joking, happened in 2010

Yep, I know that feeling:

My car was behind the apartments (where it had been safe from two other major floods), but it didn’t make it through this one.

The water looks below the bottom of the door on the truck. If there any electrics there or low in the engine bay, your truck may be a bit screwed, sorry to say :(

Sorry, that it not fun. I live in Houston by a bayou, so I definitely know your pain. From 2015 to ‘17 I lost 5 cars to flooding. And cleanup is a pain.

On the plus side, I know exactly when my last tetanus shot was...

You know, we got hit by the east end of that storm at 4:00 in the morning. I checked the radar and saw that Rochester and west had one of those diagonal thunderstorm fronts where the front is angled northwest and it is sliding southeast. This means rather than a point getting 15 minutes of intense rain, you got 90+ minutes.

Zumbro river?

That sucks. Time to elevate everything! Seriously, your property is on the outside bend of a river. That’s the side that erodes, so it’s only going to get worse.

Yup. It has crested and is receding now. I don't know what the garage looks like yet. Hopefully it's alright. I was at work when the storm hit and have no windows to see outside so I had no idea how bad the storm was.
