    Roads washed out, Polar bear and seals escaped at the zoo (friend snapped a pic of the missing seal), railroad tracks upturned, i could go on and on. I have a 2 foot high pile of gravel at the end of the driveway too. Heres a few pics of what its like around here. For me, no fishing today haha even tho businesses all around are closed.

    The rain continues to pour down as i type. Im sure ill have some more pics as they appear as all these are just from this morning.

    Im sure some of you recognize these areas in the pics, Grandmas resturant up by the mall, the SA on woodland Ave, Lester river. Stay safe out there!!

    Holy cow! That picture of the seal is priceless. You could have a heck of a caption contest for what is going through his brain at the moment.

    That whole Miller Hill area must be flooded over based on that pic of grandmas?? My wife grandparents live just up the road a few miles from the mall.

    That’s crazy, where was the first pic with that flooded car? Never saw anything like that in my 4 years at UMD.

    Yeah all the roads around the mall are shut down. People who made it to work and such early this AM are trapped up there.

    Hospitals are running on back up generators, lots of places have no power. Im having to teather off my phone cuz internet is down. Luckly theres still power where im at!

    I am assuming all that water is going to run downhill as well??? It will get worse before it gets better, right?

    Seriously, what kind of show are they running at the zoo that they lose animals (refering to dead ones) because of flood water? They couldnt see this coming and escort the donkey and other farm critters to safety rather than letting them drown? Really?! I’ll never step foot in that place.

    Don’t usually put much reliance in assumptions;
    but as assumptions go, I think this one is a fairly safe bet.

    Wait till you get older like me. You’ll still think zoo’s are lame (like me) but you’ll feel emphathy for the inhabitants.

    <hj> Nothing more exciting that watching a caged polar bear neurotically doing the same thing over and over. Do they still do that at Como in that “roomy” new enclosure?

    Some Zoos do a decent job. Decent in the respect that “most” of their animals have decent enclosures. But even at those zoos I still find exhibits where I almost feel guilty looking at them. </hj>

    Wow those are crazy pictures. Should be interesting to see what happens when all of the areas up north that drain into the Mississippi drain. The silver carp will finally breach the CR dam and STA Falls.

    Didn’t mean to hijack this thread but I agree with Pug.. I used to take my kid to the MN Zoo every weekend and then kinda got sad and decided not to go anymore. Only took them killing 5 dolphins before they realized they needed to giveup.
