I appreciate your sense of humor.
Well, I assume that I was not the only one hit by this storm, but my driveway has washed away and I have literal white rapids throughout my yard (mostly above the shot below). Sigh. People have been building some houses up on top of the mountain which has, of course, sent more water down our hollow. Our poor neighbors across the street have half our driveway in their yard. I was nervous that they would be angry at us, but thankfully, they understand what it means to live below the mountain.
Here's part of my yard and driveway. I am so thankful that the house is built up on the hillside, above all of this:

Of course, Talli doesn't mind at all

Edited to add: But you know what? Everyone from our street came up with shovels and helped move some of the rocks and mud out of the street and my neighbor's yard. It was the first time I had met some of those people. It's amazing the way small catastrophes can pull everyone together and create such a warm, almost holiday-like camaraderie.
I just saw what this storm has done elsewhere... We were very lucky.
Its nice when people pull together to overcome adversity! I look at your Heeler standing in the flash flood and think of the old nursery ryme
