Record Rainfall

Once again I'm a little behind in my postings. Between sports and the end of the year school activities, things get completely crazy around here. Sorry.

At the end of April we had not just massive amounts of rain, but Noah needs to bring the ark kind of flooding. We were very fortunate and other than a little leaking around a rood vent that has only caused some cosmetic damage to drywall, we were completely untouched. Many others were not near as fortunate and just two houses down from us had standing water in their house.

 This picture is the houses diagonal across the street from us. At this point there was water completely across the road in some parts.

This car is two houses down from us.


My back yard.

Once the rain eased up some, Hank had to go out and try to clear debris from around the fence lines so water could flow through.
 

Luckily, my front yard was high and dry.
  We are located about 20 miles east of Pensacola and although we didn't get the 26 inches of rain that they did, we did receive about 17 inches during a little over a 24 hour time period.
