BowMeHunter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Went down yesterday to racine to see if the root river was fishable for Steelies and Coho's but you would have needed 10lb dumbbells to get your spawn sacs or fly's down towards the bottom and hold and that was before the overnight 1.5". Thankfully today's heavy rains were cancelled by MKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 On the plus side, it looks like things will end earlier than previously thought. The next line pushing through should be it for any heavy convection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 and here comes the rain back north again.. wth.. thought it was over for real for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Totals here won't be as impressive here, but I suppose it's really a culmination of things since last week here in central Indiana. Wabash River at the Lafayette gauge forecasted to rise to 21.4 feet, which puts a lot of lowland spots in flood danger. I guess it's a good thing the Muni GC was shuttered, because it's going under water soon...again. Total rainfall at LAF since April 10: 3.99" Highest crests since I moved to the LAF in Jan 2004. Heavy rain on top of heavy snow pack, twice in the winter of 2007-08 stands out. 25.03 feet on Jan 1, 2005 24.31 feet on Feb 7, 2008 22.16 feet on Jan 10, 2008 21.85 feet on Mar 12, 2009 21.73 feet on Apr 29, 2011 21.70 feet on Jun 13, 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Damn I'm swamped here. There's a new creek in the backyard from that 3:30am cluster. Flowing like a river. In the front across the street there's a 50-50ft sewer drainage pond-like dip thats filed up. Water all around me. I was doing good. Sub pump working like a champ, til water started oozing out of the basement foundation. Now there's a damn line about 10mins south coming this way. I hear it roaring. Scratch that. Its been getting darker as i was typing this. INSANE lightning. Beast storm here. Gotta run check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it's not another July 1996. Anyway, pretty major event. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean compared to just 24 hours ago when it looks like we'd see multiple rounds more through this afternoon. Obv 2-5" region wide is impressive.
