I don’t talk about it much but I hear scary noises in the culvert at night too. You’re not alone!

dont get me started on how Wisconsin people call water fountains-bubblers.

Well...What the **** they call bubblers there?

A water fountain, or just fountain

Whoa!

Window and auto body repair guys are going to be working 80 hour weeks for the foreseeable future.

Ouch. I've experienced hail like that once, and once was plenty. The biggest hailstones I found later were the size of tennis balls. Sounded like we were being bombed. Scared the **** out of the cats. Luckily we didn't lose any windows and the car was in the garage, but every car that was parked outside was damaged, and the board had all the roofs replaced. It was really weird because it was pretty much completely confined to my neighborhood - a quarter mile in any direction there was no damage.

Bates County has some roads flooded over and expect a lot more rain today and tonight
