Went to Menard's and got gutter. This creek was just a gentle 1 inch flowing across the concrete bridge when I left. Coming back, I knew what I'd find based on the rain I drove in plus all the water flowing in the roadside gullies when I got close to home. Could have turned around to take the long way in but figured I'd see what was up with this first creek.

AG research center nearby says we got 1.4 inches today. It was sprinkling when I left and that was the first rain of the day so most of that 1.4" was just while I was gone, less than two hours.

Guess I should have gone to Menard's a few hours earlier. That's ok, gutter is up and we have more rain coming tonight and Fri.

The tunnel is no longer dry as a bone due to having so much rain in a short time. The whole property was evidently a sheet of flowing water.

WOW! Only ONE inch of rain will flood your place? That’s scary!

We live on a HUGE hill and Beau says if WE ever have standing water in the yard, it IS The Great Flood all over again, LOL!

Friday is supposed to be stormy around here. They are predicting wind, rain, hail, frogs, flying pigs and their usual panic predictions.

We shall see...
