we had some tornadoes blow through yesterday and the week before. Nothing next to my house, but they weren't too far from where @MikesDad used to live. Pretty wild over here

Laugh all you want at Nebraska but 1 mil will buy you this 5000 sq ft house on a lake, with no need to tear it down and spend another mil.

My ex, who lives in your area now referred to it as "Drop-a-house-on-a-witch weather".

I hope everything is going well. I will be happy to accept BTP chips to "keep them safe".

Everything is a little soggy here today. This is looking back upriver from Downtown. Flood stage for the Arkansas River in Little Rock is 23ft. as of this morning we are at 27ft and not expecting crest until Wednesday where it could be 30ft (was 29ft but as of this morning they keep upping the ranges). The flow rate is ridiculous. I live in the area where the arrow is. Luckily I'm a little up the hill about 30 ft in elevation above the areas flooding now.

Damn. Good luck and be safe

It didn't cost a million dollars, but it'll do:

... and while it's not Nebraska, we do have some livestock (besides the gators):

That table above is a fire pit, for those frozen winter nights when the temperature drops into the sixties...

BTW, my photos came from my apartment. If I owned single home property right here in Chicago, I wouldn't for very long. That $1MIL would be on it's way out of Chicago immediately.

This morning the river is about to overtake the downtown ampitheatre. They actually went ahead and had a Judas Priest concert there last night before closing down all park access this morning. Water is moving up the seawall across the river in No Little Rock..

And we still have 3-4 more days until crest.

This is my local golf course just down the street from me.

Skeeters' are going to be brutal the rest of the summer.

Thank God the show went on. Love me some Judas...

River is slowly beginning to recede.

Reminds me of the flood in '93 in St. Louis and this song:

Wait wasn't that...

Breaking the Law?

I might prefer the opposite.. maybe if there was a crack house next door my rent would go down, LOL.

Not sure what's going on, but when I looked out back a few minutes ago all the pine trees had changed into a damn orchard:

I rubbed my eyes, and took another look:

WTF? Now it's a stone wall? Must be dreaming....

Leaving this view today. Off to Volcano National Park and Yosemite in the next few days so not all bad.

This was taken down the street from me. The smoke from forest fires is horrible.
