The Midwest is SOAKED!!!

Here in South-Central Wisco we are already 7" over our normal monthly average total rainfall - and it's only June 9th. I've seen lots of video on the news from Indiana - you guys got it worse than us! Mother Nature better get it together and stop PMS'ing all over us by June 21 so we can have our Wiggle War.

I hear you. And when it's not raining, it still looks like rain.

I hope it does quit, I might try to get up there to watch the Wiggle War.

the worst part is that even when it dries up the streets will still be covered with sticks and rocks and leaves and logs and branches and dirt.... ugh

I never understood why they call it the midwest, it doesnt make sense.

kansas has been wet too :[

CDUBBS · 06-12-2008, 01:43 PM

just like your mom...

I guess this isn't really soaked, but the town in Kansas my dad's family is from/lives in got trashed by a tornado last night. That might put a bit of a damper on skating over there.

it does...WAY back when the US was just the 13 colonies and a little bit of land extending to the mississippi river, the "midwest" WAS the west...then *poof* france needs some funds, so they sell US the louisiana purchase...simultaneously, the old "west" becomes the new "middle" of the country. instead of calling it the "middle" or the "west" they just combined the two

and michigan got severely pwnd by rain the past few days...one entire street (asphalt and all) got washed away, not too far south of here. it was nuts

Geko says - "up there to watch the Wiggle War" - No watching the Wiggle War is allowed - you have to roll.

Seriously, Tom runs a great race and if you come you will ride one way or another.

Last year was my first - and it was a blast. Make it, Ride it, Remember it. We are bringing a van load from MN.

Soooooo I-94 is closed from Delafield to Madison..... Any updates on that?

Thats me at my Mom's house after we hauled everything out of the basement due to flooding. When life gives you lemons in a torrential downpour....

Cut rain grooves in them and call them downpour aide?

They've had a super long 100 mile detour for 94 between Brookfield and Mad Towne. But now they are putting a couple cross-over lanes in so you can still use 94 all the way that are supposed to be ready soon. It'll just be a two lane, 55mph road. You coming over Friday night? Might be a nice way to beat the traffic.

At least you don't have to mow the lawn for a while. And by the way - shave yer pits. Whadaya, French?
