:chatterbox: ??? wow, over where I was it was only raining a little bit and I sleep in the basement. I didn't even notice any rain.

I hope you didn't get too soaked! did you go fishing?

lucky lucky...
it was raining really hard then letting off all day
i thought i had it beat, so i throw on an album to celebrate my victory over the elements when i look back to water just rushing in my front door...

i look out side, and all bloodyhell was coming out of the clouds, hahaha
it was really givin'er...

so i sat there and watched my room fill up with water, i can laugh about it now only because i've already pulled out the rancid carpet the water left behind..

but my room is another building (not quite a shack, but not quite a guest house, haha)
so at least its easy to clean up, but i have to admit, i wasnt laughing too hard about it last night, hahaha

blasted torrential downpours

Wow! 3 inches of water?... lots of work to clean up... did much stuff get damaged? I hope not. Water can do a lot of damage.

No stories here (being on the 7th floor of a building at the top of a hill)

Sorry Ryan, guess we were posting at the same time. Sounds like a big mess... good that you can laugh about it now.

Glad you had no damage - hope you dry out soon!

Amazingly enough I had the city crews out blowing off a fire hydrant while all this rain was coming????????????? Apparently the rain that was falling was not leaving enough water on the ground for them. Nothing like crossing a river to get in your driveway.

[Melody]

LOL Maybe they were trying to manipulate the levels of a certain body of water or something.... or figured you wouldn't notice :laugh: .

More like trying to play god & create another body of water

We had some flooding in our bsmt, not really the main concern which is the now copious amounts of mold we have growing on the walls. I guess it's been leaking in there for some time but it was running against the baseboards and under the wall so we didn't notice it until a carpet of mold started growing on the carpetless floor:confused:

Anyways, long story short it's looking like the bsmt walls will need to be demolished as there may very well be a crack in the foundation somewhere that needs to be fixed as it is a constant seepage although thankfully it's a little slower now that the rain has stopped.

I shudder to think how much mold is behind those walls.......:confused:

Other than that we had some minor yard flooding and our garage had a few drips here and there but thankfully we didn't have inches like every other time lol.
