[Magdalen] Real Water Park.

Much of NW Wisconsin was hit with a once in a century
torrent of up to nine inches of rain last week.  Most of this 
drainage funneled into the Saint Croix River, a major
Mississippi River tributary, which remarkably was largely
able to handle the outwash with only a minimum of
flooding.
 
This is big canoeing country, and from first hand accounts,
a number of canoe groups had a really memorable escalated
shoot down the Saint Croix.  Fortunately, there were no 
fatalities.  
 
Maybe it will be another 100 years for such a freak event,
and maybe not.
