It's hailing at the lake...but not a drop here. So discouraging, but I'm not going to complain after seeing the flooding in other areas. The only time our lake property flooded was when they decided not to open the dam flood gates...even after residents pleaded with them. I guess the lesson was learned and that hasn't been a problem since...but it was a very costly mistake...especially for those who didn't buy flood insurance, as we're on a constant level lake. We're on a peninsula and the water came from two directions. Our house was spared but the riding mower and Jet Ski were ruined, as were the things stored in the bunkhouse. We had a pile of junk 6 ft high in front of our fence line. Funny thing is...we didn't miss any of it once it was gone......
I'll just go out and water tomorrow!
