    Is that the same area that flooded earlier this year?

    Yeah but it was 2 different floods from different sources .
    What happened in Nebraska was snow melt in march from Nebraska and south Dakota.
    What happened in iowa was the gavin's point dam on the mo in south Dakota being opened up as it was topped out .
    That's was causing the flooding in iowa now along with all the rain up north .
    Some will recall 90 being closed in parts last week in south Dakota and Minnesota ...its here now .

    Long story short everything in this neck of the woods runs south to the Missouri and the Mississippi eventually.

    Not sure if you’re getting any of that rain coming up from Texas, hope not but Indiana could get 2-3” on Sunday.

    Nope... Your over weight on the trailer by 1900 pounds...

    If the pin holes for your tandems are 4 inches center to center to need to move the tandem toward the rear of the trailer 10 more holes... (Hole 16)

    If the holes are 6 inches center to center you need to go to hole 13.


    I have no idea if this will violate any KPRM laws... And I dont feel like lookimg right now. You need to get out your atlas and do some studying if you dont even know if your legal weight or not.

    Usually I watch for snow and snow storms, ice events, etc, but now you have to figure if you're going to float away.. Houston looks like a mess again.
