Last week my son's workplace (just outside Houston) was under 3 feet of water although his home was safe having been built on higher ground.
I've been reading the latest news about the flooding in the Midwest at
There was severe flooding in Minnesota south of where I live. Seven people lost their lives and 100s of homes were damaged. One place recorded 15.1 inches of rain in a 24 hour period which is a record for the state. Because of the topography of the area, it is prone to flash flooding.
I just saw on the news yesterday too that people in Illinois are having bad flooding. My good wishes for everyone's safety are passed along here.

It is bad Gem and I'm a bit worried because Donna lives in Ohio and I haven't seen her on here for a while. The whole of that state has been hit badly by tornadoes as well as storms.
Bernadette, her part of the state has not been hit by the extreme bad weather. There isn't any flooding where I am, but yesterday DH and I stepped outside to go to a wedding and decided to go to the basement instead. The storm passed quickly and not much damage around here. The wedding took place 45 minutes late, but it will give the bride and groom something to talk about for years.

Bless you for that Betty, thanks. I'm glad the wedding went well eventually and that you're safe too.
All the best Bernadette
How are ll of you ???? mirjam
