Water (RAIN) Floods

[Jeff Silvey]

Just want to make sure everyone is doing (dealing) with mother nature. Was looking at the news looks like a lot of us are going or do have a lot of rain. Just like snow we can't do anything about the problem. If your computers start to bubble while typing time to retreat to higher ground.
Just be safe out in your areas.

Water, Water everywhere. Unfortunately even in my Kitchen. My wife called me at work last night and said the roof was leaking where someone had patched in a chimney hole many years ago. I guess the garage and west side of the house will get a new roof this spring

Had to drive thru several inches of water a few times when leaving my Adams Ct. farm yesterday.

My pond is overflowing at the wrong places, but I think the dam will hold.

My barn is flooded a little. The green tractor got its feet wet, but the cub is high and dry.

glub glub glub.

about 7 inches of rain in last day and a half. A lot of flooding, but mostly moderate so far in this immediate area. We are pretty much up in the hill country and along headwaters, so our flooding comes rapidly and goes down rapidly. People down stream get it worse though, as all the streams start running together.

Pretty much the same situation as EJP. Lots of standing water on the lower, more level areas. Water still over the low water crossings. It will take another day or two for the water to subside enough to clear the culverts under the low water crossings.

Same situation as John & Eugene. We received 7.25" of rain. Lot's of schools closed because the low water crossings are impassable.

Our only problem - most of my driveway washed down the hill and into the ditch. I can fix most of that with the son-in-laws tractor and box blade.

Vince sounds like a job for the cub grader blade

on the news last night, the Meramec river at Sullivan, Mo. will crest at an all time high today. Big River, where it passes under 21 near Washington State park was barely going under the highway bridge last night. normally a 30+ foot clearance. The crests will become progressively lower as it moves along, and by the time it empties into the Mississippi it will be negligible sue to the difference in the size of the rivers.

Cowboy, I would love to have a grader blade but the problem is the slope of our driveway. I have to grade the rock back "up" the hill and the Cub just doesn't have the traction. Even with wheel weights I can feel the wheels slip a little as I go up the hill. The Cub has plenty of power, just not enough traction for the hill in the loose gravel of the driveway.

The son-in-law has a 35hp 4wd Kioti. Even with that I have to be careful I don't get too big of a load of rock in front of the blade. If I do, all four wheels will sit there and spin.

That said, I would still like to have a grader blade.
