That is where I am at between last night and today. Just went down and checked the basement, sump pump is not working and the basement is totally dry. During that storm this afternoon, we had just a river of water in the back yard by the fence. Every property slopes down towards that area, and the city has a tile there to take it all away. Within a hour of after it stopped raining the river of water was gone, wet back there, but I was impressed it only took that long.
Well that was not cool. Tornado or derecho. Trees down in my neighborhood, my sister’s roof damaged, crops flat, and no power until just now when it snapped back on thankfully

Duck Creek has a history there.
Edit: Been retired from the Corps of Engineers 10 years and Davenport is not even in my old district and I know about Duck Creek.

You know what's fun when it's hot and humid? Shingles. Thought I had a heat rash from doing stuff outside all day Monday, but nope.
Woof. Air Quality is awful. Closed fresh air intake and set whole house fan to "auto" to try and keep the bad air out. Usually run the fan 24/7. Nice temp, sunny and not too humid and have to stay inside. Sort of sucks to lose so may nice summer days.
My daughter was flying back yesterday after five weeks in Europe. She was in Atlanta, waiting for her flight to O'Hare last night, delayed for hours, then got onto the plane but it was grounded for another couple hours, then they finally took off but had to circle for another hour or two outside of Chicago, to the point where they had to divert to Detroit to refuel. She finally landed in Chicago around 3:30 a.m., about 6 hours late.
All because of this system that literally just sat there on top of northern Illinois/Chicagoland area for several hours without moving east. I was tracking all of it on FlightAware. It was the weirdest thing.
Canada wildfire smoke, I presume? Central IA has been mostly unaffected lately, but I just noticed that we've also jumped to the upper moderate range today.Woof. Air Quality is awful.
