Come again another day. I know others are in the same boat as me right now (wishing we had a boat!). After a few 50-60° days, the snow melts, the ground is saturated, then we get hit with rain, rain and more rain today. Now the wind has kicked up. Fun, fun, fun. Here are pictures I took as I was leaving work. The first one is usually grass between my employer and the candy factory next door. The second one is our back parking lot with several inches of standing (and rising water). I called my husband before I left work and found out the sump pump had quit working and we had several inches of water under the house. So off to my favorite store (Menards for those who don't remember) to buy a new pump. It's plugged in and most of the water is gone now.
I was expecting my road to be flooded when I got home and I was close. The water runs from the field across the road in front of my neighbor's house and was half covering the road 3 hours ago. That spot and several others between my drive and the highway will probably be completely covered in the morning. Could be an interesting drive to work tomorrow. Maybe I need pontoons for my Jeep. I'd better get there a little early, I suspect parking places will be at a premium in the morning.
That is so much water!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe got hit with the winds down here today. Lots of power outages and a few building collapsed. Trees down everywhere and we still haven't got things cleaned up from the ice storm last week. Get you water wings out!!
ReplyDeleteThe sky in the 2nd is amazing. I love it. Right now we are quite warm but this weekend they are calling for snow - ACK I hate weather sometimes! SPRING WHERE ARE YOU!
ReplyDeleteWow! Now, that's a lot of H2O. Here in California, we aren't so lucky. They're talking water rationing and crying because without rain here, in the central valley, there is no snow in the montains which is killing ski resorts. All the lakes and resevours are at an all time low.
ReplyDeleteWe were also hit with horrible winds here! I lost electricity about 4 times that I can count. You could hear it knocking things down and such. I didn't venture outside in it. We get the same situation here when the snow melts and we have a lot of rain. Right now the ground is totally saturated!
