Flooding"},"content":{"rendered":"

It is a little past time for spring flooding, but with rain almost every day this week our ground is super saturated and many places can’t take any more water! \u00a0Today was at least the 3rd day in a row of storms and rain. \u00a0Today is actually the highest ever recorded rainfall in June for MN at just under 4 inches. \u00a0The storms caused major damage in some towns and closed streets in the Twin Cities. The storm also caused the Minnehaha Creek to reach its highest ever recorded flood stage.<\/p>\n

While many levels of government were encouraging citizens to be careful, an extreme kayaker took the plunge over Minnehaha Falls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
