I remember those Cicada hated them as a kid going to the hospital to get some help for breathing

Sounds like what I went through with my MRI'S. They could see see the white matter. Has been there for a few years. Trying to decide for sure what it is. I hope they figure you out too!

I hope they figure out these medical mysteries too!

This is the back yard this morning. It drains fast. It woudn't have even gotten that full, if the ground was not so saturated.

The past few evenings, we've gotten over 2 inches of rain in less than 2 hours. I've been telling you it's rare we go a day without rain, and our ground is saturated. Here's what my yard looked like last evening, after an hour of pouring rain. BTW, several roads were flooded, and impassable this morning making it difficult to get the children to school.

This is my front yard. It's normally high, and dry, even after a heavy rain. You can see a pump in the water, and the overturned bucket to keep the socket for the extension cord out of the water.

This is my back yard. Yes, it does flood some back there after a really heavy rain, but not like this. There is a 6" pipe that runs back to the creek, so by morning the water will be all drained off.

Oh, that is so wrong on so many levels. I remember finding those when we were kids and stomping on them on concrete. The results are pretty memorable

@penny1960 One question, girl, why did you wait so long!

Anybody with extra water, send it our way. Please!
