Man the life boats; here we go again. Flash flooding. Been raining since last night, continuing through tomorrow, at least.

Same here. I feel bad for the people down in town. The creek is almost as high as it was when the last big storms came through and they thought the dam might break. This rain keeps it up, the water will be that high again or higher by tomorrow, or even tonight.

It doesn't look too bad in the pictures but this is usually a small creek. It's AT LEAST 5 feet higher than it usually is and the wide part there is usually only maybe 10 feet across, not 50-ish

Is Florence coming your way as well? That’s quite a line of storms.
We’re at 94 today. Cooler weather ahead I hope.

Honestly, I'm not sure; we'll probably get more rain behind it. What we're getting now may be part of it, for all the attention I've paid to it.

I am always grateful for good drainage around my property. Guess who’s roof is leaking?

Looks like two different storms. Almost back to back.

Stay safe people

Mine, where the skylight was
Our property is flat so it's a swampy mess right now but we're up near the ridge tops so actual flooding isn't something we worry about but 5 minutes down the hill, in to town, they're having issues. Down in Altoona/Hollidaysburg, there are a bunch of roads closed from all this right now :/

It's just draining

I just saw a trailer float past the house. I have one just like it. Don't see any chickens, though

Hey we will take any extra rain! We still need lots..... it's been a rough year here. Way to dry... the chickens don't mind as long as I keep their waters full

My skylight has been leaking for years. However, it’s only an occasional leak, and is on the porch. I don’t care if cement gets wet.
I guess all the roofers are busy elsewhere. I can’t get ahold of anyone.
