storms

Last night at about 8:30 I noticed that I had some water starting to come up from the sewer drain.  Icky.  It started slow, but as the water continued, it just kept going and eventually got so bad that I had a foot of water in my basement floor overnight.  I know a lot of other people, including my neighbors, had it even worse.

This is my backyard.  Apparently it doesn't have a great flow to it.  We got a lot of rain in a short amount of time.  How much did we get in Duluth and Superior?

So very sad.  Thoughts are with the family of the girl who lost her life and everyone impacted as a result of this nasty storm.  The video, which you can watch after the jump, shows the type of damage that occurred in the area.   An 11-year-old Hinckley, Minn., girl was killed Friday night at a Burnett County, Wis., campground during a storm with winds up to 100 mph that cast a path of destruction
