Sunday picnic postponed?

[ed4copies]

There's this park in town, on an island in the river. Water flows by on both sides, very relaxing.

So, people rent it for a day during the weekend, invite their friends and have a little party. (All not too unusual).

Well, this past weekend, some "big spender" even had the local tent company erect a TENT top, in case of inclement weather, you know.

I think the weather was more inclement than they might have anticipated.

For reference, the tent top flaps are 8.5 feet off the ground. Amazingly, the ropes seem to be holding -- well, maybe NEXT month!!!

There are many pictures like this, but this had the best depth reference I could find and no one's home was involved (in the picture).

WE are fine. My home is not really in Racine, and my business is a couple miles from the rivers. Couple inches of water in the basement at the office, no big deal.

Damn, Ed, that is a lot of water!! Glad to hear that you are alright. From the news, looks like you guys are getting ALL of the rain out there!

Hey Ed,
I drove through that storm on my way back from Oshkosh, it was definitely interesting that's for sure.

At least you didn't have a repeat of "The Great Basement Flood of 2007"! [8D]

What ever you do, don't let Dawn to go down into the basement!!!! With water that deep she is likely to drown. [}]

Glad you guys are ok.

The charcoal was a little hard to ignite!!

I wish you folks would be kind enough to send just an inch or so to the south, First we get so much rain my garden got put in nearly a month late. Now it's withering away from lack of rain, However I still believe the former President Bush that Global warming is a lot of bunk. I also believe in Alien abductions and the Tooth Fairy[)][)]

Same situation when I was in Martinsville, IN this weekend.

At one point the water covered the road this pic was taken from by around a foot.

Ha!!!! A trick question heh??? You can't fool me[}]
Ok, what am I generally doing when I'm awake at 4am?
At my ripe old age, the only reason for me to be up at that ungodly hour is when I need to find the loo

Now, when I was younger........[}]

At least your three story lake home didn't float down the new river from Lake Delton.
