The rain came down and the floods came up

Yesterday evening I posted that we had a downpour of 38mm of rain in about 20 minutes. Well that was just the start. By this morning the rain gauge at our house showed 81mm (3.2") of rain since yesterday afternoon. A lot of streets were flooded and likely many basements. We came out fine. We did not get any more water in our basement, just the small wet spot in the corner we already had yesterday.

It sounds like this rain was fairly general over the south central prairies. This will not be good for the farmers trying to harvest crops. Prior to this rain the news reports were that  the harvest was already behind due to wet weather.  This much rain will put the harvest farther behind.   And the forecast is for more to come in the next week.
