Flooding Fall Rains

The rains cometh'


It rained pretty much through the night here, I woke up several times to thunder.  So far today as of 3pm the basement is dry, we'll have to wait and see how much the ground will hold.

We have 2-3" inches of rain around the house, I've trenched the worst areas in an attempt to drain off some of it.  We hooked the sump pump back up, I unplugged it Friday to repair a leaking pipe... It's now hooked up and ready to go.  We had to make an emergency run down to the outside chicken coop to add to the roof there some of the birds were soaked.  Rosie and I were soaked to the bone too.

Rosie just noticed Lake Chloe is full the first time in three years.

All I can think about is the folks at the fairgrounds.

Stay Dry!
