Yeah, no flooding problems where we are, I am on "high ground" - a whole 29ft. above sea level. The rain was very heavy, and kept on for a long time, and some parts of our lot slope a bit towards the house, but we put in French drains in those areas when we first moved in and they work great! They drain to a sump that gets pumped out to the street. I'm very happy all my rain barrels and cisterns are full now. They were running on empty before the deluge.
The only problem I had was the over 3in. of rainwater going into my swimming pool - I had a lovely green algae bloom in there starting yesterday. Happily my pool guy comes on Thursday and he caught it before the pool became Jell-O.
What a pleasure to sleep with the windows open again last night, too! The butterflies are waiting for the sun to warm them up this morning though - nobody out there fluttering around yet. I even took the camera and the tripod out to try and get some decent shots of the flutterbys - these two Zebra Longwings were the only visitors and they were mostly hanging out at the top of the mango tree, basking in the sun.
