You must have gotten more rain than us. I do live in an area where we once had a big problem getting the rain water OUT of the area. A storm sewer was built probably 35 years ago which helped. Then a couple more subdivisions were built and became a huge problem flooding basements. So a mayor had an engineer study the area and somehow got the rain water from a large subdivision to drain toward our area(while it pretty much already did but not draining in one area but several). Now the water comes in a path. crosses our street when the drains over flow. Goes down a very large drain on the corner of our yard and what comes from another direction goes into another large drain on a corner in our back yard. Then travels through a VERY large concrete drain (under our back yard close to the fence line)to the other side of our yard into the storm sewer on my neighbors yard. Its a shame your area Peabody doesn't have large drain placed to carry your water out....but then I sit here and think...you don't have the Ohio river for your water to drain to as ours. Ours goes to Blackinston mill and on to the Ohio.

Click on hoosiermama and you can see our drain. It’s the hills going in all direction. Under the top layer of clay is solid shale that doesn’t absorb water. As I mentioned (I think ) yesterday. The roads on the hills to church are so saturated that the hills are sliding (even the trees ). It’s spilt three roads in half lengthwise like we’ve been experiencing earthquakes. We haven’t. It’s just TOO MUCH RAIN!

I’m toward the bottom of the hills so it’s slowly draining to the creek to my left and creek to my right. Sometimes with flash floods we’re stuck
