You would not believe the amount of rain we got in Racine. Check out this link to the story. Over 8 inches in some areas! We shot this video with our camera phone, so the quality is terrible, but we caught this video of a canoe going over Horlick dam. We saw it go by in our back yard and rushed out to see if we could save it. No chance. It snapped in half at the bottom. Check out this link for better videos at Horlick dam of the torrent that is the Root River. To quote Laura, "whoa."
The river has flooded our little shack which is about 7 feet above the dam level. Nothing compared to the damage downstream.
