Some flooding just east of my house , there was no water there before 8 am Sunday morning.



Water was running from about 1 mile into our field . Mother Nature showing her teeth lol

I'm waiting for the day my Behlens get toppled or caved in if the wind can't blow them over....it happened twice to me already in my farming career. Now you know why I hate wind and call it my nemesis. When it happened, neither time did those small, heavy, low to the ground wooden bins ever get damaged. Lol.

Wow!

Storms suck.

We insure everything it’s a big premium but I think worth it

Wow that's dangerous stuff to be around hopefully no one got hurt.

I think they lined their equipment up to late.
No need for bin level indicators. The empty can crush effect.
How does that work on a fast bin depreciation lease? Who carries the insurance?

Guess that was a plow wind with a lot of plow. Do you think they would be damaged if they were full?

[checking]

That looks like a big work order.
Not funny, but those golf ball stones, unless they mushroomed, didn't dent that tin.
SDG - I'd say full bins would not have caved.

Not fun in 60k winds but it’s working

full bins wouldnt cave, maybe pull the roof off though.

Got 5” out of that. Really varied though from 3/4” to 6”+. No plow winds here but south of lloydminster was some damage. Seen 3 oil tanks on a location blown over. Never see that cause those things are heavy. Another rain event and our farm yard will be flooded. The slough we cropped for 12 years has 10’ of water after this shot and creeping into the yard.
