    You can’t believe the pouring rain we are getting right now! Just like a old fashion rain storm.

    Looks like rain here in River Falls…I have been praying for the rain to go south to help some farmers out

    Let up quite a bit here. Seems to be heading east, south east so maybe the North metro and western Wisconsin will get some.

    I drove through rain about midnight last night in north central SD. Some areas got as much as 3 inches. The good news, the corn in western Mn looked pretty darn good. Hopefully this rain was wide spread enough.

    Here in Eden Prarie it is raging, though the radar is showingit being north of here. My house in Fridley looks to be getting a good dose. Hope I don’t come home to water in the basement!

    Absolutely pouring here in Amery.
    Have water coming into building and haven’t seen that since the heavy spring rains.
    It’s welcomed though.

    Just finished pouring like crazy here in the south metro. Hopefully our oversupply can get down river where people are pretty much up a creek, without the creek… I just read an article how the lower Mississippi is 50 feet below its flood stage level of a few years ago!

    We got about 3/4″ last night east of La Crosse about 9 p.m.. It sure looked like it was all going south of us but then it opened up and gave us a good drink. Thank you God and I’m sure the farmers who were lucky enough to get this shower are very happy too.

    Please go Tom’s way!

    I was at 394 and 169 when it hit and boy did it come down all the way home. My grass is going to love it!

    I don’t doubt this claim as it was coming down as hard as I’ve ever seen on the drive to work in Sartell. We really needed the rain so it was a welcome sight.

    And by the way, no pictures means it didn’t happen.

    Do ditches full of water count? If so I can get you a shot of that.

    You can allways go to the MN Dot traffic cams, and check out the entire metro area.
