We're flooded!

[Biscuit]

Oh my. That's awful. Hope you and your family are ok.

Thank you everyone! For the most part in my town (Superior) everyone is fine, and there is no evacuating going on. Animals are all likely fine, besides if it were something such as the zoo (Where animals were in an enclosed area with no one to help).

In surrounding cities there have been evacuations going on. There are a lot of roads that have been flooded out, and now are just big gaping holes. There are sink holes, and in the town right next to us, called Duluth, which is basically one big hill, some houses have fell.

So far I haven't heard of any human deaths, so that's good. In another close town called Proctor though, a kid did fall into a open manhole, but is out now.

I will post more pictures soon! Right now I am going to shower, and see what's what closer to my home!

Oh my that looks dreadful
I really hope the rain stops soon and the floods recede and that you and the rest of the residents in the area stay safe xx

Thats so sad about the animals!

Near my house at least, we now have no rain and sunshine, but we're still in watch until 10:30 p.m. There is no flooding besides in yards some around me.

It is sad, sully. What a lot of us don't understand though is why they are dead. We have been on a flood watch since yesterday, and no one ever went to check on the animals? This was before we even had all this real bad flooding, I know someone could have got up there. It also is noted some birds were lost, including one of the owls, the others I don't remember what they were.

Yikes, we had unexpected floods recently but fortunately they only caused chaos for about 24 hours. And my flat escaped - I just suffered a nightmare getting home from work when all the roads I knew were blocked.

A few animals did die at the local animalarium and a few stores and places're closed for weeks but few areas with houses suffered too badly. Some are now effectively homeless but your floods look worse... I hope everyone stays managing ok.

Rain is starting up again now. Tons of people have been swimming, jet skiing, tubing, etc. in the water around town, which I don't understand because it's a lot of sewage and was deemed unsafe, uhhh.

OMG that's so scary! Glad to hear you're okay. To think I ran into people all day complaining how hot it is in Boston.... Obviously there are worse things. I must admit though, I'd probably be one if the idiots outside doing something stupid in the water
