Monday, July
11, 2016:
Heavy rains moved through mid-Minnesota and Brainerd in particular.
|
 |
It all started in
the overnight hours and went to for more than two days with just
a six hour break in the middle.
Some 9.75 inches of rain fell. If you include
precipitation from the day before and the day after, it totaled
over twelve inches at Gilbert Lodge.
Some reports from the surrounding area had as much as fourteen
inches of rain. Mark was considering construction an arc.

Well, when it
rains, the lake level comes up. In this case, Gilbert Lake
rose 21 inches....the highest ever recorded.
Before the rains, Paula "Gilligan" Persons would step down from
the dock onto the Minnow deck. Now, she had to step up.
