We've had bunches of rain in a short period of time, but I did get some plants and summer bulbs in Wednesday evening before it all started. John got this cute fence up, too, to hold the climbing bushes.

There was live video from the "Chopper 13" television helicopter over the noon hour showing Ames (35 miles SE from us). There are two other videos on their site (hopefully the noon-hour tape will show there later today). The live video I saw showed both the Wal-mart parking lot and water rising on campus in several places, and I found information and pictures here.
