Forty days and forty nights...
...but all in one night.
Scenes from the drive up to Peru:
Almost every third field looked like this.
These houses looked like they had moats.
A missing driver found today brings the death toll to two. Thankfully it wasn't like the flooding exactly one hundred years ago; Peru, the town we visited, was one of many central Indiana towns devastated by the great flood of 1913.
It looked materially the same on IN-67 south of Mooresville on Saturday. We saw a couple of houses where you could fish off the back porch, and quite a few RVs and single-wides partially submerged.
Anonymous 11:27, but did the computer models predict it like they predicted the hockey stick?
BTW, isn't Peru near where there's the world's longest stretch of straight railroad track? A professor in college made that claim and also that the rr engineers who traveled that route were always trying to see how fast they could get up to there.
Yeah, I drove through Indiana yesterday. It looked pretty wet.
ReplyDeleteDon't look for any 'early' corn planting this year, but I think we can safely say the 'drought' is over...
