Here is some humor for your day! It is an old picture of me & my siblings on a family vacation up in Michigan, picking fruit! I am the big goofball with the box of green apples!
And, now you know why I am nice to all the gals on here! I grew up with 4 pretty sisters & all their pretty friends that were always at the house!!! ROFLMAO!!!
Seneca is one of my customers, I work for Ball Corporation in the steel food can division....

My husband is a trucker. He hauls out of Seneca Foods a lot and the produce is going to sky rocket due to this flooding. The Corn fields were wiped out in the Mid-West and I'm sure a lot of other produce was affected.
Oh man, that sounds really bad... we were just talking about the impact all this is going to have on trucking... they're going to shut down all barge traffic on the Mississippi for the next 2 weeks... our business is heavily based on the vegetable pack season as well & I'm sure this all can't be good....

The town 15 minutes Northwest of my house is under 7 feet of water. I have friends who are homeless temporarily and the rain is coming again tonight through Sunday. It's pretty freaky right now.

Gov. Doyle is on it! He plans to have all the repairs done and the lake back by August. If we don't have a lake the town is done for. Thats where all of our tourism dollars come from! Plus it was just a beautiful lake. it was man-made so hopefully that will make it easier. they did it once, they can do it again! Now they have an additional 70 years of know-how!
I bet! Rotting fish never smells good... are they going to repair the road/dyke? Will you ever have a lake there again? WI has a pretty dang good DNR, hopefully they'll get ya all fixed back up & re-stocked! Good Luck!!!

Ha, ha. no there are a lot of little fish that got sucked into some of the depressions but I'm thinking the big guys made it to the river with the water. the place sure smells like a fish market though!!
Oh man, sounds bad... are there any big old Musky, Walleye or Northerns out there flopping around in the mud?

the dam is fine but the lake sweeled so much that it took out 400 ft of the highway and drained into the Wisconsin River. the lake is now a 300 acre mud hole--and not the fun kind...

Saw you're note on Lake Delton, did y'all have a dam break or something?
