Did your neighbor fare okay?
Yeah, the digging to get water out worked well.
This was at this friends mother's house. they have a slab house and the water was blocked and as it rose, they worried it would go inside.
All was OK.
I had them turn off the electricity to their outside AC unit because water was starting to rise on it.
I don't know if it would have eventually shorted out or anything, but why take a chance?
There are all kinds of flood warnings by me, rain is expected to SLAM us late tonight.
Hope this helps our water supply and places like Mono lake.
