i just got back from vacation to the mother land to find out that we were flooded 4 times in the last month that i have been gone........the weeds are eating up the cars.

i have water damage in my barn and my 68 dart and the 72 demon got some water damage as well while in the low part of the barn..........downed trees in the yard and mud slides..........OMG what happened.......we went from drought-like conditions to........rain and flooding!!!

i had some 727s on a pallet and they all took in water ....what a mess throughout the whole yard....all my stuff smells like a wet dog now :protest:

Welcome back Rani, yes it has been a very wet 3 weeks for us also, flooding and roads closed with damage even way over here in Missouri Arkansas area
I have seen some terrible mud slides and flooding on the news in Colorado.
But it has been outstanding here for the last few days, low temperatures and sun shine for a change.
 
Welcome back Rani and hope that Everything turns out good for you. We don't have those floods over here in Sweden.

No flooding, but been pretty wet the last month and a half. Things are sure nice and green though and no fire danger!!

Hope you get things dried out!
 
Our weather has been crazy this year too. There has been areas that have flooded that had never flooded since records were kept. A elderly lady that has lived on the same property for 60 years has had her home flood four times this year.
 
Welcome back Rani! I hope your vacation was wonderful and you enjoyed the time with your family. Sorry you had to come back to that mess though ...

If it's any help, Hurricane Katrina taught me how to deal with water (and a few other things lol). Give me a call if you need some pointers kiddo. Hang in there!!!
 
Welcome back, Rani!
Rain? Is that rain? We sure need some here in SoCal - it's been a very dry year so far. Normal rainfall is about 15" per water year (July 1 to June 30) and we only received 39% of that last rain year. No appreciable rainfall since the start of the current rain year.

We had gone through a real dry spell for the previous two years but from January 1st through July 30th we have had over 41" which is 20" over normal. 9.84 inches fell in July alone.
 
Done our share of sand-bagging around here this year too . Crazy mid-west weather .

well I don`t get flooded, but the mosquitoes are terrible, also have to mow the lawn every 5-7 days and it still looks like a hay meadow. if I could mow it every 3 days it would be perfect. but, rain w/o flooding is a blessing from god!------------------bob:
