We had almost 7 inches of rain here...the lake flooded and our boat was just about up on our dock. Our dock is built 3 or 4 feet above the water level but they must not have gotten the flood gate open soon enough. We had water up over the road in one lane, the park was flooded at the end of our block and there was water everywhere on the roads and at the underpasses in town...we have a lot of overhead train bridges and it always floods under them. We had to go 85 miles north that day and there was water all over the highway and cornfields about half way up on the stalk! It was bad...
