That is all I can say. And good luck and stay safe during this dangerous situation

Mudslides in the Prairies? Where would it slide to? It's not like it could go downhill or anything.

But yeah, that's a ridiculous amount of rain.

I was thinking the same thing about the mudslides in MN. But anyway, that's alot of rain!

http://www.kstp.com/article/view/148798/ here is a video clip and details about the mudslides




The bluff above Spring lake (which is now overflowing) is one of the many places that had 4 or 5 mudslides only 2 blocks from my house the long way

Ahh yes.. nice pic of the river valley..with the Canadian Geese and fall colors in MN.

It's gently rolling farmland above the Minnesota river valley with real black soil that readily flows and blows from one field to the next. The Jolly Green Giant use to guard the valley.

Stay Safe!

Same story here in Wisconsin... especially in the southern wisconsin region. Portions of HWY 41 in southern Winnebago/Northern Fond Du Lac counties was closed this morning due to the flooding... more rains expected to continue through the day.
