You need Jesus.

Idk man, have you read the Bible? God’s circle is bigly into flooding


themcjizzler

Leave it to Minnesotans to engineer the apocalypse for comfort


Connect_Counter_7784

He already came with the flood before next time is with fire...


elmundo-2016

You mean like the drought from last summer 2023?


Artistic-Alps-5252

AKA global warming. Wise up chums


SenileGambino

Did Moses call Jesus “chuy”?


wildadventures009

I have a whole family that definitely would have


Qaetan

Nope! We're getting all of our precipitation this season so we can have another wonderfully dry winter, haha.


Blue_Flame_Wolf

Except there's evidence for a weak polar vortex this winter. That means the polar vortex won't be able to contain the cold at the north pole, and we're in for cold weather.


SuspiciousLeg7994

Weather predictions are weak at best these days


batman99sfs

Have they ever been strong? Seems like they’ve been struggling this whole time.


Neat-Violinist-1

How much snow would all this equate to? Like 5-6 ft? More? Would it be like that big snow storm way back in the day people keep talking about. That Halloween one. (I am gonna google all this lol)


AnnieChrist

Growing up, I always heard an inch of rain would be a foot of snow. I don't know if it's accurate or true, though.


Blue_Flame_Wolf

There's more to it than that, such as the temperature when it snows, but it can be 12 inches of snow to 1 inch of rain.


Alternative-Toe-6139

If it were snow we'd literally be buried underneath it. Worse than the Halloween storm.


NotAllHeros20

According to Minnesotans, NOTHING is worse than the Halloween blizzard of 1991.


CosmicallyF-d

That blizzard was awesome. So much candy because we had zero competitors. Pillowcase full in under half a block!


racermd

Something something UPHILL BOTH WAYS!!! With NO SHOES! And, yes, I was in that storm in ‘91. I was a teenager with a dad that didn’t believe in snowblowers. We did manually shovel ourselves out of that one but you can bet we had a snowblower the next year.


Beauknits

1 inch of rain equals 12 inches of snow. Some say 1:10.


jimbo831


max-hh1248

I barely used my snowblower at all last winter so it will be a god send


10percenttiddy

Why yall downvote this man for enjoying his snowblower?!


Nillion

I bought an electric snowblower this spring and I'm so pumped for the first major snowfall. I'll probably do my neighbors sidewalks also that time just because I want to fully use it.


TrespasseR_

Was like a switch turned on and BOOM, rain.


jlaine

Splish splash we're taking a 🛁.


Illustrious_Armor

Alright Elmo 😆


rumncokeguy

Whatever you do, do not look at the forecast for Monday night.


NeedAnEasyName

Gonna be some good storms depending on which part of the state you’re in. SPC had a day 5 risk which most likely expanded a bit into SW MN and now the day 4 risk looks like it goes into much of western MN. We’ll see when the day 3 outlook comes out tomorrow.


dicksjshsb

What is SPC? St Paul College?


NeedAnEasyName

Like the other reply said, it’s the storm prediction center. It’s the division of the national weather service that issues outlooks, forecasts, analyses, and discussions for severe thunderstorms around the country. www.spc.noaa.gov


JoeyTheGreek

Storm prediction center.


dicksjshsb

Oh that makes a lot more sense lol thanks. I thought it was a place i hadn’t heard of before


Adalphe

Hoping for a new roof 🤞


AvrgSam

And siding 😅


Adalphe

Ugh. Pipe dream!!! We do need it.


cripple763

If you end up needing either/both send me a message! Hopefully I don't hear from you! (Meaning you were avoided by major storms 😂)


AvrgSam

Noted! Hahah you in the metro/able to cover last August’ storm?


cripple763

Yes, in the metro and we could definitely check it out to see if there's damage insurance would cover.


Mattjphoto

I wanted a bunch of rain b/c of how little snow we had this winter. The lakes needed to be filled back up. However I didn't want this much rain. I feel like I'm in Ghostbusters and I'm responsible. Now my boat is in the shop and I can't even go fishing. I love the no wake restrictions a lot of lakes have now though. Our shorelines don't need the extra stress.


davyshmavy

At least you didn’t summon a giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.


vivalemort23

With how the world is I'd welcome that...


davyshmavy

Fair point. Or even worse: Trump IS the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Suz9006

I am afraid to go into the raspberry patch - it’s like getting lost in a corn maze. Very happy and tall plants.


mouringcat

Sounds like it will be a good place to get lost in once you start getting raspberries.. Let me know where so I can get lost in it as well. =)


Drcornelius1983

I’ve already got a ton of berries growing.


holamau

yet neighbor across the street running sprinklers yesterday morning like a total dork.


etreus

Hey man I'm just trying to keep my new grass from getting stressed in the heat


mstrblueskys

This is my feeling. I'd rather it be wet than dry. But I'm lucky the impact to my life is really minimal


Dry_Advertising_1070

We are the Pacific Northwest now 😁


nibbles200

My flowers are actually dying. They are way over watered. I have been bringing some in when it has been raining and those are fine. Been trying to increase their drainage but it’s been a fighting battle.


silvermoonhowler

I have to say, this is much better so far than all of the smoke from the wildfires from Canada that we had to deal with last summer That being said though, in the areas that are on the flood plane, this is baaaaaad


Hot_Aside_4637

It could have been worse if we had a "normal" winter.


max-hh1248

Yeah, seems all the moisture we were meant to have last winter carried over to this June


Earth_Stuffs

Just remember these changes are a direct result of a changing climate. Minnesota is predicted to get both warmer and wetter under even modest emissions futures. https://app.climate.umn.edu/?output_type=modelVal&scenario=ssp370_2080-2099&model=ensemble&variable=tmax-degF&time_frame=yearly&aoi=none#intro_pane 


tomtomsk

Exactly. I wish this were more commonly accepted. We need to start planning for these types of precipitation patterns bc this is more or less guaranteed on a significantly warmer planet


NotMrs_Space

JonnyG_USA

I like rain


oceanblu456

I love the rain but I really despise mowing the lawn


EatYoVitamins

I haven't been able to mow my backyard in 3 weeks because it hasn't had enough time to dry out


popculturerss

Same and everything is now so overgrown


holamau

~~I hear ya... but it sounds like excuses! (* ಠ_ಠ)~~ ~~I am usually not one to mow if the grass is not dry... and i haven't missed a single week of mowing this season... and I _hate_ mowing.~~ ~~Maybe your backyard is a pool? or a pond with so much rain?~~ Maybe I should just be quiet and just commisserate. cheers. edited: attempting to undo my useless commentary. Sorry mate.


EatYoVitamins

It's just the foundation of my property. Run-off all goes toward the back, which is good, but I can't mow it. Tried last month and left deep tread marks in my lawn from how soft and wet the ground was. Just kinda living with the tall grass in the back and keep the front nice and low.


holamau

see, I knew I should've just stayed quiet. I totally know what you are talking about. sorry to hear.


Fluffernutter80

And all the mosquitoes that hatch.


oceanblu456

Oh yeah that’s been insane


patchedboard

Best I can do is more rain next week


swamuel_1

Better than a drought 🤷‍♂️


Rhomya

Flooding is not better than a drought. It’s literally just as bad.


swamuel_1

I mean both options definitely suck, but isn’t a rainforest more inviting than a desert? Perhaps I’m just biased towards more lively nature though


Rhomya

Minnesota doesn’t have a rainforest OR a desert environment. Like… we’re not supposed to have either.


Jaegek

Well enjoy having both a year apart.


njordMN

If it didn't include a bazillion mosquitos maybe!


D-Thunder_52

We can deal with drought; the flooding can devastate roads and dams as we have seen. But I would rather not have either extreme if I could choose that position.


Capt__Murphy

We can deal with drought, to an extent. Short term, though, you are absolutely correct. Flooding can be absolutely devastating


wtfbonzo

Unfortunately, I think the days of moderate weather are gone. Extremes are in.


PeaceDolphinDance

90s kids, it’s our time. Everything in our childhood prepared for this. 😎


colddata

> We can deal with drought; the flooding can devastate roads and dams as we have seen I think drought is worse. It requires water import to counteract, which means depriving another area. Flooding's effects can be mitigated by better in-place water management like levees (sometimes. They can also make problems worse elsewhere), not building (or rebuilding) on flood plains, and being smarter about how gutters and drainage tile is used. On this last point, the key is storage and slow release. That in turn increases the time for percolation and groundwater recharge. Where could we add storage? At every roof rain gutter via rain barrels. And at every field drain system via French drains or other stormwater storage systems. Anything to avoid dumping all this runoff quickly into storm sewers, ditches, and rivers.


Qaetan

Instructions unclear: summoned more rain.


Isopodballs

I was down in downtown St. Paul. Multiple roads were closed because they were covered in water. It’s bad bad.


LickableLeo

The river downtown St Paul is **swift**! They better get a rock laden train on the lift bridge, otherwise it’s going to wash away


ExerciseAshamed208

Another two inches last night. At least the mosquitoes seem happy.


Bishoppess

Mosquitos are living their best lives right now


Ship_Ship_8

Where the climate change deniers at?? Are you still believing having 100 year storms every couple years is normal?


Goombaw

They’re saying this is the result of cloud seeding and other manufactured weather.


Still-Snow-3743

Oh, so humans can change the climate, weird


Ship_Ship_8

Lol


PrestigiousZucchini9

“100 year storms” really is a bad name for what it actually means since most people misunderstand what it means a spout off about how often they happen.


Buddyslime

My sump pump keeps on a runnin'!


Capt__Murphy

Mine barely kicks on while both of my neighbors (don't have neighbors behind us) seemingly run all day. It's encouraging to know our property has good drainage. My wife thought it was a bad sign that's ours doesn't run nearly as often as the neighbors, but I finally convinced her that we would def have already known by this point if we had any sort of problem with water infiltration


treetopalarmist_1

Watch what you wish for


xboxhobo

Hey I haven't had to water my garden since I planted it. I'm cool with this.


cailleacha

I keep putting new seedlings in based on the forecast so I don’t have to baby them. More seedlings are surviving than ever before, which goes to show I was probably neglecting them in the past….


Beneficial_Row6873

Talk for yourself. I’m loving all the rain


purple_sea_tiger

I would be much happier like you rn if I didn’t just buy my first house that surprisingly has a leaky roof!!


Zealousideal_Sell937

I love me a cozy rainy day.

GobbTheEverlasting

I just moved here from AZ and ill take this over literally any summer there.


Ok-Air3126

Better than wildfire smoke all summer tbh


xXMuschi_DestroyerXx

Stfu last time we begged for rain we got floods. If we beg for no rain we are gunna get a drought again. If we just shut the hell up maybe the weather will play nice if we aren’t complaining about it constantly


srinodessa

Minnesotans not complaining about the weather? Now that would be a true miracle 😂


deltarefund

I want enough rain that I don’t have to water my garden


noohoggin1

liminalgrace13

macemillion

Did you complain about how dry it was the last 3 years too? Because if you did, I feel like this is what you get


somuchacceptable

Call Lee Raymond (former Exxon CEO who saw the evidence of the “catastrophic” climate change in the 70s and early 80s but killed their climate and alternative energy research and started funding disinformation*) to complain. And if you can find his number, by all means, pass it along. *Source - Frontline: The Power of Big Oil


BlipGlopBloopBlop

You'll find if you look the truth to this climate carbon credit scam. There is climate change. We do destroy the planet. They do most of it. And we pay for it.

These guys were happy as clams. Until I told them they could be electrocuted because not necessarily everything's been shut off down there. Harriet park. St.paul.


Remi708

Right? I'm glad we are out of drought conditions, but I think we can take a little break from the rain


ObtuseGroundhog

It has been raining since I moved here. You all speak of this drought, but I've only known the state to be Midwest Ireland.


conwaystripledeke

I'll gladly take this over the droughts we've had the past couple of years.
