No Ark needed!

The rain finally came to an end & water is receding pretty quickly. This is when it was at it's worse.
This bench to the left is normally a good 15' from the water's edge.

to the right of this boat is the dock/pier.

...and then there is all the crud that gets dislodged.

Looks like it came very close to your house.

Fortunately it's not my house, we don't live on the water, these are homes in the neighborhood. It was worse one other time in the 28yrs. we've lived here.

Hey, you been over to my house taking photos of my wetlands coming up to 50' of my front door?

It's funny - now a week later, we have to start watering! We're the highest spot on the road, so we don't have a problem with flooding. We've had sunny days & the ground is starting to crack & the grass is still green but....we'll see ...... 90 by Wed, then possible showers Thurs-Mon. No surprise living in the midwest!

Glad to hear you're out of the water (although I agree, a happy medium would be preferable!)

Our elevation is pretty high but for some reason my particular area got hit with an incredible amount of rain. The water has gone down considerable but this was approaching that 100 year flood mark that we were at a few years ago. One thing, the wetlands are a slope down from my home. We bought this property because of the wetlands but it sure did look like a lake out there for a while. Frogs are in froggie heaven right about now.

My goodness, I just went to the linked photo. Hopefully the public works people near you will clean up quickly.
