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.

That'll test your kayaking skills.

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

It's been raining like crazy for 3 days up there. I think I would have gotten out after day 1.

I think we dodged a touchdown but holy hell the water. Raining 20 minutes and it's 2018 levels of water running through our property and a long way to go
