I hope this old Mopar can be saved but it doesn't look good.

How far away from you was it? We've been lucky with the weather so far in Omaha.

My sister just called me from North Platte, and said the rivers and creeks look like they can't hold much more. And it's STILL coming down like crazy!

She didn't send any photos for this thread, though..........

Dan, we just need to build a pipeline, and you'd have all the water you could use!. It has rained here 13 of the last 18 days.

as they always say flush twice it's a long way to LA water allotment for us farmers is 36'' most have cut back so I get 3 more irrigations , trying to conserve until the hotter months and sprinkler with the well , Hopefully my well don't dry up so far it's keeping things alive that and the septic leach line.

It's going to be close! I think that's a 67 Satellite so maybe worth $10-20,000? That combine is kind of old and maybe worth around $35,000. But who knows? It's all up to the insurance man.

It's Delmont, SD. It happened on Mother's day morning. The 100 year old brick Luthern church was destroyed. People were there for the service at the time. All were able to take cover in the basement.

Yeah, drought is tough. We had it pretty bad here in 2012, but it was only over a about a 16 month period so we only lost one growing season. I understand you guys have had it rough for several years in a row!

I've always thought that farming some of the hottest and driest land on the continent made about as much sense as building a city below sea level.

- California can't get enough water to keep the farms healthy.
- New Orleans and Katrina.

Q.E.D.

We wouldn't have a water shortage problem if a three-inch fish didn't actually get a larger portion of the available water than the complete human population of the state gets.

Check the facts and see how much water is MANDATED by enviro-whackos and an activist judge, and is just dumped into the ocean, all in the name of the Delta Smelt.

Here's a photo, just to stay on topic:
