Standing water in the back yard and water spilling out of the ditches half covering the road. That usually means 2-3" in the rain gage. What's it looking like up in Princeton?

Same thing in Champlin.
The rainfall accumulation map on weatherunderground shows .5" - .8" in Princeton. I remember a few years ago, some of the haulers had a bit of trouble getting in due to wet conditions, but they raced.
It looks like it might taper off for a while. Tomorrow is looking great with temps between 80-85. We'll have to see.

Dennis Jones and someone else replied to a post on 20/20 and said they were up to 1.75" and rain since 3am. My back yard here in Forest Lake has standing water and the ditch is running over onto the road. I wasn't going to make it tonight because I had outpatient surgery on Wednesday morning but hope to get out there tomorrow.
I remember the that first year when we had similar weather. That's the time they had to pump standing water out of 3&4 into the parking lot and they worked the track right up to race time. The actual track surface can be saved relatively easy due to the high banking but the pits and infield turn into a muddy mess.

I think even the UNA-Bomber's shack was slightly bigger than that...
Stan, I promise I'll buy as many 8x10s as I can-anything to get you into a decent home.
I have a patio table to go with those chairs if you want. Tools like a Sawzall or a KeyHole can be easily loaded, so go and pick out some windows and we'll get you all hooked up. Do I need to bring a generator, I can't tell if that thing is wired from this angle....
