One would have to believe this flood is finally broken. Rate of rainfall per hour often exceeded 4" during heavy downpours.

Radar shows this current system will last for some time, as this becomes a wraparound low. Snow will change back to rain, or so we HOPE!

All local rivers and streams are well out of their banks, and hundreds of acres of farmland is submerged. Another huge band of rain is less than 15 miles of west of us and headed this direction. Radar shows the intensity is significant. This will only lead to additional flooding. The media forecasters are calling for another 4"-9" of rain over this area between now and Thursday. ANY additional rain will only increase the severity of the situation. Our acreage is on a higher elevation point than surrounding fields, but water is standing in our nearly four acres of lawn--the ground is completely saturated. I understand that conditions around us are much worse.

In over fifty years of growing fruit trees, this is the first year I've ever had to resort to watering mature fruit trees to save them. Literally, the trees are breaking apart from the now three years of drought, and a large crop this year. So far, I've removed thousands of immature apples to save the trees, and will need to remove thousands more today. Harvest is only a couple weeks away on some of the varieties, but the limbs cannot take the weight. "It was the best of times; the worst of times."
