After all the terrible rains and flooding in the area I was wondering if anyone had any reports on how things are there? Our local SD news showed the Ft. Dodge area, but no mention of Humboldt. My heart goes out to all the people all over the USA that have been affected this week by the weather.

Hi,
We heard from family that live in the Humboldt area. Lots of rain and many homes have water in their basements. Many of the crops were downed by straight line winds and water standing in fields. FEMA is in the area and everyone is working together to clean up the mess. The heavy storm went North of town, some tree damage and out buildings down. I've talked to one person from the factory that had water in their basement, most are cleaning out wet things from basements and attempting to dry out. Spirits are up - this is a farming community with hard working people that pull together and always lend a helping hand.
Take care all -
LeAnn
