The rivers are up to the top, there's flooding in lower area's, and on properties along the river.
It's supposed to rain non-stop for the next 3 days, and the rivers and other flooded area's haven't receeded enough for us to accomodate this excess water. The ground can't absorb anymore water, because of the past few summers of drought, there's that layer in the soil that prevents water absorbtion under the surface.
I'm sure there will be more tornado warnings soon, once these storms increase in severity over the flat lands. Flood warnings are already in effect for the area's that were flooded out just a couple weeks ago (High River, Old Man River).
First we complain that we're not getting enough water, now we're getting too much.
