Flooding in Glenns backyard

[LPS]

Glenn I saw in the news that a restaurant in your area flooded as people were eating and 44 of them had to be rescued.  Were you and the wife there?  It was Antons.

nope. I havent ate there in a whole lotta years. good food, just not my kinda place. kinda a fancy joint and a bit spendy. where that place is situated its right along the sauk river and its really on low ground. they usually have flooding issues. odd, cause it took a cruise around the lakes and it didn't seem like the water/river was all that high yet? but again it does not surprise me about that place.

if I have flood issues where I live, the whole town of cold spring is in serious trouble.

  Seen it too & thought they said something about an ice jam letting loose so it came up very fast.

I've canoed that river a thousand times back when I was younger from cold spring to st cloud. and yes, of course there was beer!!!!!!! since the chicken plant has been there that part of the river is always open for quite a ways. but further down I could see where ice got hung up.

again though, Antons is sitting on really low ground and it doesn't take much.

Glad to know you are ok....      I would move my location if it flooded frequently.

I can't believe Slippery's in Wabasha (Grumpy Old men) is still open after all the times they've been flooded....and again big-time this year.

The grocery store in Stillwater that is by the lift bridge fills their basement full of clean water before the floods.  What a pain that would be.   They may not even be there anymore.

been there a few times, good food but as Glenn said....  they are always friendly too...  I heard an ice dam gave way too...
