pen_gruntDerrick and I went to a wedding in St. Charles, MN and Lewiston, MN last night.
If you live in MN and get the local news, you will know that much of that part of MN is under water right now.
If you hear about a wedding party being evacuated last night--that was the wedding that we were at. Supposedly rain on your wedding day predicts good fortune. Not that this couple would have had any problem with that in terms of money, but at least some of that good fortune will make up for having to move from their reception hall to a hotel, to another place (because the hotel started flooding too).
I'm crazy-glad that I was tired last night and suggested that we leave the wedding at 8. By 11 water was coming in the reception hall. Derrick was a trooper, driving 2 hours back to the cities through the pouring rain. He commented about someone needing to build an ark. Funny at the time, but it turns out he wasn't that far off. Even in the dark driving back, we saw fields that WERE clear and full of crops when we drove down filled with water and lake-like on the way back.
Part of the road we drove over to get home is now washed away--and there were at least two fatalities.
Wow. Just, wow.
