I looked up your zip code for NWS warnings. You have a wind advisory and a flash flood watch, no mention of tornado activity. Sounds like you have a similar problem to ours, because it indicates that the ground in your area was already saturated before your latest rains came. This flash flooding stuff is nothing to mess with, because new places that never flooded before are suddenly inundated where you least expect it. Be careful and charge your cell phones if you haven’t already!

Thanks. I’m on dial up right now and have a hard time finding information...we have some flooding across our road. We’re hoping our basement doesn’t flood again.
May have to fire up the generator soon.

We just lost a huge tree...it fell and missed the house by a foot. We’re in the area’s “wind alley.”

Ice storms, floods, tornadoes, now a tropical storm. We’ve had it all in Missouri.

Found the weather radio. They’re saying the wind advisory is for gusts up to 45...I’m making a realistic guess that we’re getting 65-75 mph winds.
