Check out this incredible video of a house floating down the flooded White River in Izard Co, AR, and slamming into a bridge!  Thanks to Heidi for providing the link. The flooding has been catastrophic in this region, especially in the states of Arkansas, Missouri, and Ohio, where over a foot of rain fell from this recent storm system.  Most of the flooding has been associate with smaller rivers from AR northeast to OH, but the major rivers such as the Mississippi and Ohio River have had only minor flooding, likely because they originate in areas that did not receive heavy rain.

Meanwhile, a record-breaking snowstorm struck parts of the Northern MS River Valley through the southern Great Lakes Region today, dumping over a foot of snow in areas.  An Alberta Clipper was responsible for this snowfall, as is often the case this time of year.  Two years ago during late winter/early spring, an Alberta Clipper with a similar track, but much more compact and intense of a system, dumped 12 inches of snow in about 4 hours in Grand Rapids with thunder and lightning!  Milwaukee, WI received 14 inches of snow from this event, and Grand Rapids, MI has received ~8 inches and counting.  INCREDIBLE winter weather event!!!!
