Yikes, thats worse than my yard! We got an inch of rain yesterday, another 1 1/2 inches overnight, 2 inches more today, then another half inch in the past 4 hours. ( hubby got a new rain gauge LOL). The whole yard is under a little bit of water, but the bantam pen is the worst. One silkie ventured out in it today. She HAD to have swam- because it's at least 5 inches deep in their run. With the wind- I considered making them little sailboats, or surfboards.
I do hope your hubby stays safe- that is some pretty serious flooding!!
