The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting this morning:Rock County Minnesota officials estimate that rain and pounding hail may have taken out 100,000 acres across the county as storms sluiced across the hills, eroding fields and sending creeks and rivers surging over their banks. Farmers are reporting that their beef cattle were washed out of the fields and drowned by the raging Rock River.
Some parts of Minnesota have received 8 inches of rain in the last 36 hours. We sure could use some of that here in New Mexico. We would take 8 inches for the year in rain!
