Can you all send some Lounge Vibes to my aunt and uncle.

[KitchenWitch]

They live on a lake in Wisconsin that is in danger of doing the same thing that Lake Delton did earlier this week.

I am really scared about the situation.

[flvegan]

1. Absolutely.

Hope they stay safe.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Thank you flvegan!

I am so upset about this.

[Suich]

3. Sending vibes to your Aunt and Uncle!

I read about Lake Delton. Will it eventually fill back up or is it permanently just gone?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

5. I don't know

Lake Delton was a man made lake and was only about 12 feet deep at its deepest point. I would guess that once they get the dam repaired, it will fill back up again.

I am really worried about Lake Nagawicka, it is a bigger and deeper lake and could reek havoc on the entire city of Delafield, Wisconsin and a couple of lakes down river.

[SPKrazy]

4. Of course

good vibes to them, and hope that they stay safe and sound, and have peace and good health.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

6. Thank you.

They are here in California right now, visiting their grandchildren. So they are safe and away from it, but I am guessing they are worried sick about the home they have lived in for 50 years.

[Flaxbee]

7. wow - how frightening! All my best vibes going to your

aunt and uncle!

Have they evacuated? Can they quickly?

[KitchenWitch]

8. They are out of town (here in CA)

So they are safe. Not so sure about their neighbors.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Of course, my dear KW...

I hope their home stays safe for them...

And I'm glad they're in town now with you...

Such a scary time for all of you...

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

10. They are actually in Fresno

visiting their son, DIL and grandchildren. This is the couple that has already buried two of their three children.

:cry:

[merh]

11. Sending out vibes

and saying prayers :grouphug:

[KitchenWitch]

12. Thank you!

:hug:

:grouphug:

[merh]

17. and for you too

:hug:

:loveya:

[puerco-bellies]

13. Vibes for your Aunt and Uncle

And everyone else in that region.

[KitchenWitch]

14. Thank you

It is pretty scary looking.

Sandbagging...it's not just for mudslides any more.

[Bullwinkle925]

15. Absolutely . . .

keep us posted as to how they're doing.

send them our love and best wishes!!

:grouphug:

[KitchenWitch]

20. I will

One of my mom's other sisters is going by their place tomorrow to check on it.

This is really scary.

[Bullwinkle925]

30. i can kind of relate . . .

since i've experienced the wrath of *Mother Nature* in the past - it is scary indeed.

i will keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.

hugs to you . . .

[FloridaJudy]

16. Good vibes on their way

Mother nature seems to be in really bad mood this year. Who could blame her? I hope your uncle and aunt get through okay.

[KitchenWitch]

22. She really has not been very amused with us earthlings lately

[ThomCat]

18. I'm thinking postive thoughts.

I hope they are well and safe, and stay that way. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

23. They are safe

They are some 2000 miles away from it right now. Not sure when they are going back.

[huskerlaw]

19. Absolutely.

Vibes for your aunt and uncle! :hug:

My sis is in Iowa, not near the bad flooding, but her basement is currently doubling as a swimming pool. The Midwest is a mess!

[KitchenWitch]

24. Yikes

That sounds awful.

Glad she is not near where the rivers are becoming lakes

[huskerlaw]

29. The disappearing/appearing lakes are SCARY

she's just got the garden-variety flooded basement.

I hope your aunt and uncle's house is ok. I'm glad they're safe, but it must be SO hard to be away and unable to see for themselves how things are.

Did you hear about the Boy Scout camp in Iowa? That's only about an hour from my parents, and then the storm line headed past my sister.

The entire area has been beaten severely and repeatedly by these crazy storms. :(

[KitchenWitch]

31. I did

I am beside myself with concern. Storms are hitting Minneapolis too, and it is waaaaaay too late to call.

[Haole Girl]

21. Sending vibes

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

25. Thanks

Not sure which is worse, flooding or wildfires.

[Haole Girl]

27. That's a difficult choice...

flooding probably kills more people, but wildfires can cause more permanent damage. :-(

[elshiva]

26. Good vibes and hugs.

:hug: :grouphug:

[KitchenWitch]

33. ...

:hug:

[UrbScotty]

28. Sure thing.

I live in Michigan; we also had some nasty storms last weekend with some flooding, but it hasn't been nearly as bad as it is over there.

You will keep us posted, right? :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

32. I will

I probably will not know anything until tomorrow at the earliest.

[liberaltrucker]

34. You got 'em, J.

Prayers, vibes, sacrificial virgins, whatever it takes.

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

35. Thanks

Did you see this?

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=761341

I am so upset I could puke.

[laylah]

45. Please check in

even if it is to say "I'm checking in" :hug:

[Pushed To The Left]

36. Sending some good vibes for your aunt and uncle and their home

:hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

37. Sending big vibes out KitchenWitch

For your aunt and uncle's safety, and for you. :hug: :loveya:

[Callalily]

38. Definitely will send tons of

vibes for your aunt and uncle.

We're expecting a ton of rain again today, and for the next several days too. Not going to be pleasant.

My heart goes out to all who are experiencing the repercussions of these storms.

:hug:

[applegrove]

39. Sending them vibes for a safety.

[Midlodemocrat]

40. Oh my goodness, Kitchy! Of course.

Vibes and prayers on their way. :hug:

[PeaceNikki]

41. You know you've got mine. More storms brewing this second.

Let me know if you need anything, I am literally right up the street.

The dam is in danger of breaking, but that lake is much bigger than Delton. It will cause a LOT of damage, but it won't drain like Delton.

[laylah]

42. White light, prayers,

and love headed their way, and yours, KW. :hug:

[Phillycat]

43. You got it.

Scary stuff. :hug:

[Gonzo Gardener]

44. Vibes for you and yours KW

:hug:


And MORE fucking rain today... :shakesfistatsky:

[KitchenWitch]

46. UPDATE

My aunt and uncle are in California visiting their son. I have not spoken to them, and am unsure if they are keeping track of things back home.

They are safe. One of my other aunts lives in suburban Milwaukee and is checking on their place today, and will continue to check on it as long as there is danger of flooding/dam breakage.

Thank you all for your prayers, vibes and support.

[PeaceNikki]

49. Glad they are in CA. BIG storms just approaching.

Sky is a-skeery

[Zavulon]

47. Best of vibes to both them and you.

I hope the most annoying and inconvenient thing they deal with are those overly cheerful cashiers who demand that their customers have a nice day.

[bertha katzenengel]

48. they're in my thoughts

and so are you, KW. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

50. Thanks

This aunt is like a second mom to me.

It is not looking very good. The region got absolutely pounded today, and looks like it will get pounded tomorrow.

So far the dam has held, but there have been some homes flooded already.
