Bob you twigged my memeory re 1974, i was 9 years old at that time and the highway north of our farm was flooded about a foot deep for about a 1/2 mile. pretty amazing when you live in big prarie country like we do. Guess what, this year it happend again and its flooding all over the country, Blizzard 12 inches of wet snow last weeked 200 miles east of us Crazy. If were wet and cold here,that meeting of cold and hot is way further South and fires up all those twisters. Last year was wild here for storms and it may end up being the same.
