Then we looked outside the front windows an were amazed. The drainage creek was all full and rushing down.
We were flooded!
At one point, the water couldnt go away fast enough, so it went right across the street!
This is our main storm drain. Dont see it, do you? Thats cause it keeps getting covered with tree junk. Its unnerneath that pile in the center.
When THAT happens, the water flows along our yard to the other drain. Most rains, water never gets there at all.
The drainage creek DOES have some nice big rocks it it and those make nice waterfalls. TBT likes them. WE think they look dangerous. But, of course, we are never actually in the front yard. We just look through the windows!
Wow, that is a lot of water! Very glad you aren't out there in it.
ReplyDeleteOooh dear - that looks quite worrying. Is TBT's front garden okay?

That is a lot of rain!
ReplyDeleteWe had rain this weekend too, but since we live on a hill it runs away from the house.
There is a big puddle at the bottom of our stairs though.
We are glad to be indoors.

That is a big flood! I hope your garden is okay.
ReplyDeleteIt is like that here too, we even ended up with water in the basement.
ReplyDeleteOur weekend is like that too. Heavy heavy rain and flooding. Sigh. Your Country should clean off those drains. Can TBT twist their arms some?
ReplyDeleteWow! You have as much water as we have snow. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your own waterfall! We may get ponds in the yards with heavy rain but no running water.
ReplyDeleteThe waterfall looks kinda neat. We are flooded here too. Mommy had to wade through a gigantic puddle to get to the mailbox, and Chimera had to jump over a giant lake to get to her fence post.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of rain! It rained in NewYork and New Jersey, where we were this weekend, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad.
ReplyDeleteImpressive, that's a lot of rain ! We hope everything comes back to normal soon ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThis looks so much like the one I sent you. Same deal.
