the midwest is being raviged by loods, and tornadoes. I'm out on deployment. my only means o communication is my Treo. can anyone let me know how bad things are in the rest o the country? I cap is lying I would love a pic of our site.
Frankly its a mess, and I personally can see where a lot of states are going to be stretched even thinner.
Lake Delton in WI (the one where Tommy Bartlett runs), broke a levee and drained dry, now all that water is making its way downstream into IL and we're holding our breath in the NE areas to see how bad it will get.
There's flood warnings all over IL as another good-sized storm is making its way across your home state towards us, today.
There were sad stories about 4 Boy Scouts killed by a tornado in Iowa. I'm going to give two of my people double kudos for bugging out of the Rockford Airfest this last weekend when bad weather came through - I'd hate to be in a press conference explaining why we didn't go home when the 50Mph gust front came through and wrecked havoc on the vendors and people who stayed after us.
INWG has been sending up stories about their response to various areas flooding.
