Is Terrill far enough west that their water heads west and hits the Missouri River? Then it would miss DSM. Not sure?

Dickinson (Spirit Lake/Okoboji) and Clay (Spencer) counties end up in the Missouri.

Emmet (Estherville) and Palo Alto (Emmetsburg) end up in Saylorville.

Terrill is just west of the Dickinson/Emmet line.

Depending how it lies to blue earth MN, it could dump into the blue earth like mine and go north to……….Mankato. Why our ground isn’t losing water Mankato got hammered.

Yeah, I said the maps are reluctant to step things down much. I had standing water and test wells showing ground water within a couple feet of the surface with all dredged, lakes etc to the banks and the map still said it was a moderate drought.

I think it’s pretty laggy. My area went through a 10-12 day period of no precip, high temps, and high winds and our drought level actually improved.

Look up videos from Husets Speedway in Sioux Falls. There was supposed to b a $250,000 to win sprint car race there is past weekend. The storms came and they told everyone to get off the property. Well many didn't, it flooded so bad they had rescue boats rescuing people from their very fancy expensive RV's that were half under water.

Just crazy
