I rode through that rain Wednesday night and Thursday morning. It really came down Wednesday evening and forced me to the motel. Lots of water on the roads and when I hit some in construction when it was dark and the water came up over the windshield I figured it was time to pull off for the night.

I've been in northern MN all week, and just got back to the ATL today. Man, I am so glad I wasn't on two wheels up there, especially yesterday. Took 4+ hours to drive from Grand Rapids back down to Minneapolis, and that was in a Suburban! But the temperature change from GR to MSP was amazing - - 48 when I left, and 72 when I got to the hotel! Glad to be home in hot-Lanta.

Yes, lots of rain. From Wednesday afternoon until Thursday night I had just under 7" in my rain gauge. I also spent over 24 hours dealing with the water that flooded my basement. But the worst of it was just to the south of where I live. There are some corn fields where all you can see above the water are the tassels. I really feel for the farmers. It was setting up to be a bumper harvest.

 

Several major roads closed, and lots of back roads under water. Just a big mess.
