Kansas DU-ers are apparently taking a severe beating from all the bad weather.

I just talked to Muse. She is just south of Topeka, and was unable to get out until this evening because of flooding. She has had 20" of rain since Friday and 11" last night. One of her horses was trapped in the mud earlier today and she called the vet but he couldn't come because the roads were impassable. The horse finally freed himself but is old and not feeling too well this evening.

Muse said the Wakarusa River, normally a tame little stream, is out of its banks by 10 blocks. There are propane tanks floating in the road. People in Wakarusa, the nearest town, have been evacuated. :scared:

Muse called to make sure everyone else is okay. Her satellite is out so she can't get online. I told her I would post her news and send only the best DU vibes her way.

This weather in Kansas is bad, folks. We have had nothing but rain for days and it is supposed to rain all week. There is water standing in my front yard and I am not in a flood plain.

1. I am so sorry. I don't know what I can do to help. I just emailed

Sen. Brownback to get his nose out of * behind and help his constitutes.
