Wisconsin got some of the same kind of flooding. Really bad in some spots. Its been raining a lot here also, but I checked the creek on the property. Normally I can jump it and its about a foot and a half deep where I cross. There is no way I am crossing that thing now.
Its been a heck of a year for the Midwest, flooding, rain storms, tornadoes (still cleaning up after that) and just nasty weather. I hope you stay high and dry with that river. Watch it close.
