Here in Rochester we've been getting a steady rain all day, this coming just as our local rivers and creeks began to drop a little. It ain't good. Everything that has opened up now is high and dirty.

The Mississippi River up here is starting to raise its head too. I heard yesterday something about the big river coming up about 12 feet by this weekend and that is in the portion of the river where flooding has not already been a problem. Below the Minnesota border thare are several rivers in Iowa that will be adding flood waters to the big one on its way south.

Wew may be wet here in Minnesota but nothing like persons south of our border are going to be. Hold on!
