Shelly went and checked out what used to be Lake Delton - and it's nothing more than a sand-bar now. It has basically drained one of the biggest attractions in the mid-west. Pretty crazy - I'm sure it's going to have a major economic impact on the Dells.

I went there a couple weeks ago with Shelly, where she showed me the Tommy Bartlett skiiers practicing. We went on a Duck ride, and just walked all around and what-not. To think the lake is now "gone" is pretty nuts.

Shelly said their farm is under several feet of water in certain areas, and one of her brothers leases has litterally lost half of it's trees. Approximately 80-100 mph winds.... Nuts!

I believe we were planning on doing some boating on Lake Delton during my bachelor party weekend in early September. Looks like that plan got shot to hell! I guess we'll just have to spend more time in the bar now. :D

Andy, myself and our familiesare doing fine. I wish I could say as much for our land. Every piece my brothers and I own is under water. Will probably be at least a month or more before we can get inand do any stand work. That is if we don't get any more rain......All food plots are completely underwater also. Looks as if we might have to replant everything we just got in. Talked to Nevs last night and he took a ride around the country by his house where an F2 tornado went through. The path of distruction is about 5 miles long by a 1/2 mile wide. He is very lucky, the tornado lifted just a quarter mile from his house, and it was headed right for it!
Was at the river below my house and got video of thehouses that were washed away atLake Delton.One was still pretty much intact and we are 4 miles downstream. Anyway here is an aerial pic of the breech at LakeDelton. Lake is to the left, Wisconsin River to the right.

Take Care,

Ed

As far as storms go, I was born and raised in a small town that you might have heard of in the news. Parkersburg, IA a F5 tornado went through and took it off the map. All my family is alright but there has been a lot of damage. Other then that I started a new job "Stampede Products" it rocks!

Ed,
Glad to hear you and the family are alright!!!!
Same goes for you Tara and Shelly!


[/align]My brother lost 18 trees on his 4 acres by the dells, but the house was spared. He was lucky. I was up by Lake Delton this past weekend seeing my Dad. Sunday we made a trip over to Ho-Chunk casino to do a little gambling since the weather was rotten. Coming from Oxford towards the Wisconsin dells, the destruction got more evident the closer we got to the dells. We actually were going to go down the road that was eventually washed away by the high waters on Lake Delton. But, they had the road blocked off because of water over the road there. , so we had to go another way. To think only hours later the lake drained, just blows me away. When I saw the video,


[/align]I was just shocked! To think a whole lake can drain that fast is just unbelievable! I feel for the people that lost their beautiful house's on that lake. But Thank the good Lord, no one was injured! It's going to take a long time for that once beautifullake to fill up again.

[/align]Here's the Video of a beautiful $ 500,000 house floatingout ofLake Delton and into the Wisconsin river. It looked like a friggin house boat!


[/align]I can't imagine the look on the owners face when he saw it on the news.

[/align] Bummer!!!!

Grandma up by Portage, Wi had to evacuate with 3 feet of water in her house.
Not to far from Cascade Ski hill and just one big mess up there right now.
Add the bad news that her cancer has come back and nothing can be done
just makes you wonder sometimes.

Wow sorry to hear that brother!!!! I will send out prayers today for her! Walt

Man I feel for all of you people that were involved or effected in anyway with this destruction that happened by the Dells. I hope you all can re group and get things in order again.

My heart goes out to you also Peak. Like you said it really makes you wonder sometimes. When is enough enough? I wish I knew that answer!

Sorry to hear about your Grandma, gotta get up there and see what the parcel I hunted on looks like.

Thanks Gents.

Peak,
Sorry to hear about your Grandma. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family, and especially with your Grandma. I lost my Mom to Cancer on St. Pattys Day this year, and I'm just not the same person I was when she was around. But.... everyday gets a little better.

My Momand my Dad lived in Oxford, not far from your Grandma. I pray the water goes down for everyone involved. Here in northern Illinois. The water has crept within about 15 feet of my backdoor. I know things could be worse though. Last year, we had water 3/4s of the way up our driveway around our house. I got home from work this morning, and the water got deeper in our subdivision, already flooding about 7 houses. Luckily enough, were about 3 feet higher than they are. I really feel for those poor people in Cedar Rapids Iowa.

Hey Todd, Tyler, or Dallas, whats the Skunk river doing as of late?

:)Hey Todd, you think this season might be affected this year? Yes/no or maybe so ?

Went and worked on the sand-bag lines last night just north of Burlington Iowa yesterday afternoon. Unbelieveable is an understatement. It's as though the land has turned into a sea. Litterally miles upon miles of farmland covered under about 10 ft. of water! I'm going to write a field journal about the experience and get it up soon!

Todder out...

hey goodluck brother!!!!

Man, I feel for everyone involved! Fortunately here we haven't got the torrential rains.. Just enough to make the crops grow like wildfire. Hopefully Michigan can help make up for the lost crops that will be in these regions.. Prayers go out to everyone involved.

Stan
