There is way too much water!  I saw plenty of flooding on my way to Montana, but now I've seen it around my home town.  This is a crazy amount of precipitation we have had this year.  I don't like the amount of tornadoes we have had in MN either!

Today I helped my mother out with some work around the office and part of what we needed to do was go an pick up a package. On the trip there we encountered some water over the road.  They had a flagger and they were only sending traffic across one side of it.  It was the first time I have ever actually seen water running over a road.  I don't think I even saw something like that when I was living in the F/M area and I was right up in the flooding there.

It is kinda of crazy to drive across the water but we did it.  I'm afraid of how it is going to be tomorrow on our trip to Billings.  We have heard bad things about the road to there having flooding as well.  Lets hope we can make it there and back with out any hiccups.

I couldn't get my phone out fast enough to get the truck driving through it before this car.  They made a bigger splash that looked cool. Oh take notice to the guy to the far left for another picture I'll show you. (Click on the pictures to make them larger if you want.)

The water we had to drive over.  It was moving pretty fast too.

 Remember that guy in the first picture?  This was where he decided to walk.  Crazy fool.  There is never water in this area.  So the river is really high.

I appreciate the green-ness that comes from all of this moisture but can we please have a break from the water so the water can go down?  Thanks.
