It seems like we had about 30" here at the house. Last night we had about 1 1/2" of rain. Today we had steady 40 mph wind with 60 mph gusts. The trees around the house are destroyed. Wife and i have been cutting on them for 2 days to remove the hanging widow makers.

The county has set up 3 disposal sites for cow carcases out in 3 different directions about 25 mile from Rapid. It has been brutal on the rancher. An acquaintance mentioned a friend that lost near 1000 sheep. There are folks right here in town that still have no electricity.

Wife and i feel fortunate.
