I am, and it's crazy.

https://www.keyc.com/2024/06/26/breaking-house-next-rapidan-dam-falls-into-blue-earth-river/

The Blue Earth River has already eaten the storekeeper's house, and while the bank may not take the store right now, the slope may be so unstable that it's not possible to keep it. The river volume needs to back off before the engineers can get out there and properly evaluate things. 

A friend of mine who grew up not a mile from there worked for Blue Earth County for a few summers. When he was there, he handled multiple reports on the dam dating back to at least the 80s in the courthouse basement. All of them recommended removing the dam. However, what was lacking was the funding and the political wherewithal to do so. I think both are forthcoming. Add in the fact that Gov. Walz is from Mankato, and it would not surprise me to see a special session late this summer/early fall to provide the funding. 

The Minnesota River at Mankato crested on Tuesday at it's second highest level ever (1993 and 1965 are the floods of record on the Minnesota). There is very little freeboard above the massive flood-fighting works downtown. The downstream gauge at Henderson hit it's highest ever level, and 

Another friend's family are farmers whose land is near the MN/IA/SD junction. They have lost all their crops due to rain.

Might have to do hurricane prep next week depending on where this thing decides to turn.

Tropical Storm Beryl forecast to become first hurricane of season (winknews.com)

early spaghetti models predict Beryl likely heading to Mexico but this is very early so well just have to wait a few days for a more accurate prediction

Rented a house on Lake Michigan this week.  A nice reminder of the most pleasant summer weather in the lower 48 is in these parts.

Still trending South. Cancun could be in trouble here, with storm surge, if this track is accurate.

Yup this is looking bad for Cancun, Cozumel, Play del Carmen, Tulum, Isla Mujeres.  Pretty much all of my favorite places to vacation in Mexico...
