Roy Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Just looked at an interactive map for your area...it don't look too good at all. Is your property saturated enough that it no longer absorbs rainfall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 So...can we assume that "you're all wet" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expecting a needed rain here but hopefully nothing like you are experiencing. We're fine Bernie! Flood plain level is elevation 472 here, I believe my lot is 485. While you're at it.. I'm still waiting for my Sabiki Rigs!!! Where's your Dixie cup? Man that's some serious rain fall Hope all the work you did on your yard doesn't get flush away by this rain You mind as well make jigs Glen while that storm goes by.... not much you can do about it Jacques The yard wont wash much Jacques... but I wouldn't advise walking on any of the tilled spots, I'd have to pull you out with the 4x4 Ford! Just looked at an interactive map for your area...it don't look too good at all. Is your property saturated enough that it no longer absorbs rainfall? The ground stopped absorbing water a few days ago Roy. So...can we assume that "you're all wet" ? ... and I'll assume you're a Hosed Hoser!
