    Had 15 inches last week and another 1.5 last night. This is what the road on the south side of my property looks like. The creek has actually come down ALOT already. I have some work to do. These are minimum (no) maintenance roads. All the flooding is changing up the deer movement as well. Could be interesting.....

    I have a better video of the creek behind my house, it's still uploading. I'll post it when it's done.

    BTW the creek in the video above was barely puddles this time last year, out of the half mile it cuts across that spot I had like maybe 2 decent size puddles left. It's 5' deep now in some places. :lol:

    While that sucks for you, we could use about half of that. Only had about 3 inches in past two or three weeks. Cool video by the way.

    I'm pretty sure I heard there were 61 straight days with rain somewhere in my county, it finally ended a couple of weeks ago.

    It was really dry last year when we went out to Kansas. The river on the property I hunt was a dust bowl, hopefully it will hold some water this year.

    I feel your pain buddy! We didn't get quite that much over in Woodson county, about 10 inches since last Friday. I need to get my fall plot seeds in the ground NOW! Last year we could get a rain over an inch, this year we're getting pounded. Oh we'll, too much rain is better than no rain IMO

    Ya I have on little late season kill plot to plant still but I'm scared to. Each storm we get seems to be worse than the one before. If it would just rain nice and easy instead of coming down in buckets and washing everything away we'd be set. Freakin rainin right now ha ha

    Rain has been really bad here in lower Alabama since June. This same timeframe last year average rainfall was 3.9 inches, this year for the same timeframe it's almost up to 14 inches! Yuck
