Duluth Mn Seriously Flooded-1st time ever!

We have received over 10 inches of rain, who would have thought the city on a hill could ever flood?? Well it did! Here are some photos I took today from all over the city, we are under a state of emergency with more rain expected tonight! Just crazy!

We never know when a disaster will strike. We went over 40 years before hurricanes hit my area. We were unprepared but survived. Pay attention to any warnings & take care of yourselves. Then be thankful.

Holy cow! That must freak you out a bit. I do hope you remain safe and suffer minimal (if any) damages!

@ Missy -Incredible!! Too bad some of that rain can be shifted to NM to put out those massive forrest fires!!! Has any water gotten into your home??
@BJ - sure hope Andover is far south enough that the water has lost its umph before it gets that far!!
@Sherrie - when an area has no history of adverse weather conditions or natural disasters ...»
happening - and then it does, sure makes you sit up & take notice. Last Aug. our area had a 5.6 Earthquake and the epicenter, in Mineral, Va., was only about 10 mi. from us!! No damage thankfully, at least structurally. The psyche - ummm - that was a different story. Kind of unnerving to say the least!!

This is so scary to lool at. I can't imagine living through it. We have hurricanes but have time to prepare and move out of harms way. Please, be safe and take no chances.

Susan, I was thinking the same thing. We could use that water out here for all our wildfires. But Missy, I hope you and yours stay safe and dry.

We are having a wet summer too in Washington state, but not that bad. Stay safe.

In Florida we find South Florida begs for rain to stop. In Central Florida we beg for rain.
We are only a couple hundred miles apart. Laws of Nature rule everything.
