Flooding and endless rain!

It's been raining like crazy this past week and along with waking up to rain, we also found this little guy making a home in our back entry way. Beautiful web, eh?


By 4 pm the rain was still raging and our backyard became a flooded mess, reaching the top of our tramp. By this time I had summoned Ron home and I was moving valuables up to higher ground. It must have been a sight to see Ronnie and me pushing the heavy Christmas tree upstairs! Luckily, the water did not reach the basement, but I was really worried.


Twice it reached this level, both times draining into our storm drain.



Phew, we did not suffer any flooding inside. It did make us realize what more we could do to prepare for a disaster. My advice...be prepared! More rain is still in the forecast....
