It's wierd for me sitting here in Indianapolis, while the Madison area that I'm from is being deluged by what now seems like the annual monsoon season. I guess if I had to spend a week in Riley hospital, this is as good a time as any!
Is the flooding hitting any of you?

Going to be many acres of bottom ground re-seeded after the river goes back down in my neck of the woods.

No flooding here in my area as we're up high and away from any rivers. We've had A TON of Rain & Storms though!! In Marion County there is some flooding along the Rolling Fork River, and there is a little flooding South of Campbellsville toward Green River Lake, but haven't heard much about that area.

Madison will be getting all of your water in a little while! Gravity sucks! ;D |

I was in Madison Sunday setting up my blinds and from the old Madison to the Indian-Kentucky creek there is a camp ground on the right I could barely see the roofs of those buildings there. Do you think the water will get over the high way there. Wonder if I should go through Versalies Wed.

If it keeps raining the next couple of days I would go the other way just to be sure if it's not to much of a hassle. |

It is really no big hassle. I just enjoy the trip better the other way. Just a little longer through Versalles, thank goodness Gold Star wont be open or I would have to stop and then then I would have issues about an hour later.

Woodmaster and his deer hunting buddies just got their deer camp camper raised up. This is in the flood plain of the Wabash. Woodmaster and I built the portion out in front of it that will be a room addition and a deck. Hopefully they put it up high enough..   Lots of water in Warrick county too..... . |

On the news tonight, they said that this has been the wettest April on record (150 years). They also said that we should blow by the record for the wettest month ever. The flooding hasn't affected me much since we live on top of a hill. The storm run-off has been the worst. The back roads have been washed out. Our little road we live on has an area were half of the road is gone and there is about a 15' drop off where it used to be. I work in a valley with 3 roads that get to it. 2 of the roads are closed because they are gone in areas. The only road left isn't in much better shape.

I have a tri-level home with a walkout half basement on the back. A couple times a year I would get 1-2" of water in it. I am in the process of redoing it and I wanted to get the basement sealed up. So Last summer I dug up all around the outside of it, Resealed the block, Put a thick plastic wall sealing barrier and put a perimeter drain in. So far with all of this rain it has remained completely dry. As much as I hate all of this flooding I am happy to see my fix has worked before I get the carpet down.

I talked to my wife and she said that that route has been flooded out more than once in recent years. |

Yes a smart idea. However it's still not secured enough for a Tornado or stright-line wind storm. |
